Description:
Black and white photograph of two firefighters aiming a hose toward a severely burned building with a collapsed roof.
Black and white photograph shows multiple firefighters doing various activities. In the middle of the photograph, two firemen appear to be aiming a hose toward a severely burned building with a collapsed roof. Both of the men have their backs to the camera and appear to be squatting or sitting on the ground. Of the two firefighters, the man to the proper left is holding the hose. The water from the hose is being sprayed to the proper right. Also on the proper right, another man stands near the building with his back to the camera. On the proper left, another man with his back to the camera can be seen from the torso up. The before mentioned firefighter appears to be standing near a porch attached to the rear of the building on the ground level. The building appears to be badly burned (almost entirely black). The roof of the building appears to have collasped in the fire and the windows have been blown out. Another residence and Mt. Roberts can be seen in the background.

The reverse is labeled in black ink "D—21 / Geneva Woods / 1617 Douglas Hwy / 1975 / DVF Dept."
