This
snappy dresser is identified only as "C. Blanchard".
His cap shows he is a member of Deluge Engine Co. 1
The CD includes the reverse side information, too.

This
massive chunk of iron is a 1945 American LaFrance aerial, with a
65-foot "stick". It was probably fairly new in this photo, across
Spring Street from Fire Station One.
(Because I can't remember the source of this photo,
it is not
on the CD yet)

This
Howe engine served as Engine One from 1953 until 1961, when it was
transferred to Engine Four. It had a unique three-door design,
and was a bear to drive! (What's 'power steering'?)
Desi Arnaz graced the tailboard when he and Lucy came to Jamestown in
1956 for the premiere of "Forever Darling"
(OK, since I don't know where I got this photo,
either, it's
not on the CD yet)

This
ad for the Howe Defender featured Jamestown's Engine One. This
view doesn't do it justice, but you can see the three-door cab.

The only identification
for this photo is "Rescue 2". Presumably, this very
young-looking man is a member of that fire company. Thanks
to Barbara Langdon, who contacted me with the offer to include
her photo.
