Lansing Fire Department - High Pressure Fog Truck

Description:

A hand-tinted photograph of one of two John Bean high pressure fog trucks used by the Lansing Fire Department, parked inside on the apparatus floor of Station No. 1. The truck is surrounded by many floral arrangements. This photograph was likely taken in November, 1949, around the time of the station's dedication. A photograph of a similar fog truck with information about the trucks 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.
