This was taken at Burbank Fire Station 14; however, the structure captured here was later replaced with another in 1992. Photograph caption dated February 27, 1956 reads, "Much 'funner' with firemen - Jimmy Coyle, 6, of Burbank, who's going to be a fireman when he grows up, wanted to have his birthday party 'with the firemen.' So Jimmy's mother, Mrs. John Coyle, of 1025 N. Brighton Ave., brought ice cream and a cake decorated with fire trucks and a house afire to the fire station at Burbank boulevard and Lincoln avenue."; See images #00109268 through #00109271 for all photos in this series.
