October 25, 1947 AP wirephoto showing trucks carrying fresh volunteer firefighting crews lined up on the Biddeford Pool highway in Maine. The separate caption says some volunteers came from the Boston area as rising winds threatened a new forest fire outbreak. Men enter the woods at lower right while others gather beside trucks; the fire had been brought to a standstill along the highway. The photograph and caption are mounted on the same black archival paper. Overall mount measures 8¼ x 7⅜ inches. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper. Aged black tape holds the print at its corners and secures the caption below. Light surface scuffs and scratches, discoloration at taped corners and handling wear are visible. Caption shows toning and tape residue. See photos for condition.
