Description
Photograph of the Los Angeles Fire Department fighting a fire on Broadway looking north from Third Street, ca.1913. Fire hoses lay in a tangle on the street in the foreground, while firefighters blast a burning building with water to the left. A water pump with spoked wheels stands at left, with a larger pump surrounded by firefighters standing to the right. A third machine appears to be a water pipe, an elevating pipe and nozzle that could spray water from the top of the pipe on the fire. High rise buildings line the street to either side.
