- Description:
- An unidentifed Lansing Fire Department staff member seated at the Watchman's Desk in the new Station No. 1. This control desk could receive alarms and code messages, ring warning bells, operate apparatus-floor doors, control traffic signals in congested downtown areas, and other functions. A photograph of the same desk, with a page of text but no indivduals, has also been printed in the booklet "Lansing Fire Department: Dedicated to the Saving of Life and Property" which was published in approximately 1950. The brochure credits George Beak, Communications Division, and Frank Mainville, Press Photographer, for the photographs in the booklet.
