Fire Dept. Collection

December 8, 1960

This foreground view of the main Children's Home complex building shows the west end and back of the building. A fire truck is partially visible at far left with a man standing atop. A ladder is propped against the back wall to a second-floor window with a man at the top holding the end of a hose line. A second man is visible kneeling at the base of the ladder. Two men are standing on the roof of the porch with a small ladder leaning up to the roof. A third man is kneeling on the roof edge above with a hose line leaning into a window of the dormer. On the ground in immediate foreground, a fireman is striding toward the truck past a double birch tree near the building's corner. Smoke and flames are visible from the roof and gable end windows.
