Just wanted to share some rare photos of Truck 60 during a rescue that took place on November 11, 1972. These images were captured by Sylvester Szymczak, a local professional photographer who lived in the area. He also documented the Central Manufacturing District fire, likely because he was so close to the action. I came across a collection of his prints and recognized the buildings in these photos as being just two blocks from where I currently live. A few years later, I found a logbook from Truck 60 and discovered the entry for this specific fire, as shown in the last image. From my research, it seems the person rescued survived. The ambulance pictured is Ambulance 12.
