Description

Men, women and boys crowd the foreground, watching firemen in coats and helmets direct water from fire hoses at a building that is almost entirely concealed by smoke. Some people appear to be African-American. An automobile is at the right. Frame buildings, apparently residential and commercial structures, with storefronts below and porches above, are at the far right.
