Firemen and Fire Truck (02172)
A photo of a fire truck, three unidentified firemen and numerous spectators at the annual Christmas tree bonfire. Probably at the Dunbar/Thirteenth Street landfill, ca.1940-1950. Discarded Christmas trees were deposited at the landfill in the shape of a star and burned. The fire truck is standing by in case of an emergency. Fire truck is probably from the nearby old Grace Street fire station.
