In these photographs we see fire fighters giving a demonstration of things they do on the job. In frame 23 there are two fire fighters with their back to the camera. They are in a uniform and have a helmet on. They are standing in front of a vehicle that appears to have been crushed. In frame 24 we see someone leaning into the front passenger door of a car. The person appears to be a fire fighter and is reaching for someone in the drivers seat. On the strip containing frames 1-3, and 43 and 44: Frame 43 shows two people seated. The one on the left is a woman with a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope around her neck, the other end of the stethoscope is on a man's arm.. She is wearing glasses, and pants with a matching top and has her legs crossed. There is a man seated across from her wearing a striped shirt. Behind the man is a large window. Behind her is floral wall paper. Frame 44 shows a fire fighter standing in front of a car. He appears to operating a tool that opened the car's doors as the doors on the vehicle have been removed.

03-26-2016 While the envelopes containing C 109 N and C 109 P do not specify that they are from the 1977 fire recognition day, the photographs match those that are in the fire recognition day envelopes and we believe they were originally all from the same event. kap
