This from Eric Haak:

I thought I would share some old school photos. These were scanned and I don’t have the photographer’s name to credit as they are just part of my collection. Possibly someone who was living on the block.

Just sharing some shots of Engine 15 and 64 working a house fire some time in the late 80’s or early 90’s.
