Excellent video.i walked through that door at 909 Lake St for 42 years as the longest served Evanston Policeman.The Fire and Police buildings were connected. Great history there.😂
I added to my viewing experience by following on Google Street View as they raced down Lake Street... viewing those same houses and intersections nearly 70 years later. Much the same actually.
Maple & Elmwood Avenues. The fire station is 909 Lake Street. The building has been remodeled a bit and looks more like their offices now. For instance, the bay doors are windows but you can tell it’s the same building.
I’ve never been to Evanston, so I’m not familiar but it looks like a couple blocks north of Dempster. Type 909 Lake St. into Google Maps and it will show you exactly.
Thank you for giving me the name of Lake St. I was already thinking about how cool it would be to go to Google Maps and check out the area on street view.
Poor ladder practice. You don't grip the strings of the ladder, you grip the rounds. If you slip whilst holding the strings your hands slide and you can't stop yourself.

Is the building still a fire/police station today?
Also available in color.

May I asked where in Evanston is Lake St? What streets does it run in between?

@@Kitsaper I mean the main streets like Dempster, Main, or Oakton.
