Description:

Black and white glossy photo of a damaged print that shows the fire station and firemen of Neptune Engine Company No. 6. The view shows a manually-operated pumper wagon in the foreground along with 10 firemen in uniforms. A small hose wagon can be seen at the far left side of the photo. There are at least 15 spectators who are standing beside or behind the wagons. An ornate 2-story brick fire station building is visible in the background and it has a sign over the central doorway which shows "Neptune, Engine No. 6." The company chief, wearing a belt with the word, "Foreman," is standing at right end of the pumper wagon and his assistant is standing at the opposite end. Each is holding a speaking trumpet. Handwritten text on the verso shows "6.4, 115207, 1, 4/25/56."
