Description
From an unlabeled box of assorted negatives. Fire hydrants are flooding the street and a fire engine, and firemen can be seen near one of the hydrants. It is unclear whether there is a fire in progress, or if this is just related to water flushing. On the corner is William's Funeral Chapel, with Howard's Crystal Creamery opposite. A crowd is gathered along the sidewalk, watching. The sign for the Foursquare Church at the end of the block reads, "Moved to 1470 McKinley Ave." A few teenagers are wearing bathing suits, taking advantage of the water.
