Description
Photograph of firefighters posing in front of a horse-drawn water cannon at the Los Angeles Fire Department, now (1983) station 12, North Figueroa, restored by L.A.F.D. 1981), ca.1913. Three firemen stand to the left of center in button-down uniforms, the rightmost man having two rows of buttons to the others' one. A fourth man sits in the coachman's seat of the water cannon, a long pipe supported by scaffold with a positionable nozzle at the tip. Its cart is led by two white horses and one pinto horse and is partially still in the garage. Small, one-story craftsman-style houses are visible in the background. The road is unpaved.
