Summary |
The Blue River Hose Company poses on Main Street in Breckenridge, Colorado, holding the leads to the hose cart which is in the background adorned with American flags. Their uniforms include conductor's caps and bib shirts with shield-shaped patches with the letter "H" sewn onto the buttoned chest protectors. In the background is the two story frame Denver Hotel, with gable roof and flat side extensions and "Hotel." lettered on the front of the building and a balcony over the covered porch. Men, women and children are on the balcony, and spectators also watch from the porch below, including more firemen in pith helmet type hats. Other frame buildings are to the right. |
