Firefighters with a fire truck, observing a fire in the distance

Title

Firefighters with a fire truck, observing a fire in the distance

Description

Black and white image of a group of firefighters that have just arrived at a fire. One firefighter stands on the running board of the fire truck, while another can be seen pulling the ladder from the back. The fire itself appears to be fully involved, with the frame of the building visible among the flames. Museum records identify the building simply as 'a local co-op.' See WCMpic_012737 and WCMpic_012742 for other views of this same event.
