Color photograph of fire equipment and vehicles in Savikko Park in Douglas, Alaska.

To the proper left of the fire truck, a man is standing on the top of a nearly vertical ladder which has been extended several feet in the air. Several firefighters are holding the base of the ladder. Four wires extend from the top of the ladder (possibly held by the firefighters) to the ground. To the proper left of the photograph, two men appear to be holding the other end of two of the four wires. A green and yellow outbuilding can be seen between the extended ladder and the two men on the ground holding the wires. Buildings in Douglas can be seen in the background.
