Call NumberX-7214CreatorBrock, HowardDate1966SummaryFiretrucks, firemen, and hoses are in the street around a smoking commercial building during a fire in Brighton, Colorado. Jets of water are aimed at windows on the second floor, and a crane reaches to the roof; two men are at its upper end. A projecting sheetmetal-neon sign and lettering over the door both read: "Ladie's Toggery." Other signs read: "Montgomery Ward," and "Brighton Appliance." A sign of molded plastic bears a "Frigidaire" logo. Spectators crowd railroad tracks in the background; behind them is an institutional brick structure with dentils, colonettes, and a stone cornice. A water tower in the distance has "Brighton" lettered on it.Physical Description1 photoprint ; 21 x 27 cm (8 x 10 1/2 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectBrighton (Colo.)Fire fighters--Colorado--BrightonFires--Colorado--BrightonGeographic AreaBrighton (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710007214Type of MaterialPhotographic printsBlack & white photographsNotesFormerly F31124.
