Fire at the Venetian

Title

Fire at the Venetian

Description

Black and white image of man climbing up a metal ladder set against the front of a row of commercial buildings at night. Fire hoses dangle beside the ladder and snake along the street. Another, smaller ladder is visible on the other side of an awning, also leaning against the building. The Venetian Theater sign is visible, and a pall of smoke is visible above the buildings. The street is empty but for one car, and parking meters line the curb.
