Description
A real photo postcard of Los Angeles Fire Department Engine Company Number 23 at a downtown fire, ca. 1911. The view shows several firefighters on and around the horse-drawn vehicle, which is stopped in the middle of a downtown street. Hoses extend from the wagon and are lying in the street and there is a crowd of observers nearby. Portions of structures are at the top, including a grocery and delicatessen. The postally unused card has minor edge abrasions and minimal soiling, it is in good condition.
