Description
Photograph of fire fighters putting out a blaze in the forest, ca.1930. To the left, a fire truck sits on a narrow dirt road while three men stand in front and two men stand to the back of the truck. Two hoses can be seen extending out of the truck while one hose runs to the right and the other lines the hill to the back where both spew out water at the ground. Smoke fills the air in the background while men are visible holding the hoses and tall trees can be seen to the right and in the background. A hazy view of mountains is visible behind the trees.
