Description

Two volunteer firefighters, marked in pen as 'Dick Clinite (retired)' and 'Bill Lee (moved)', observe as the Econogas fire overtakes a truck further away. Clinite stands behind a fire engine with an partially unraveled fire hose at his feet while Lee walks behind him.

According to the Iowa City Press-Citizen, no fire fighters were hurt while putting down this fire (1964).

While the photograph has a written date of 1965, the Iowa City Press-Citizen and the Mary Belle Brandstatter, who wrote a short history about the Coralville Volunteer Fire Department for Lest We Forget (p. 53-54), both date this event as June of 1964.
