Fire fighter and citizen on the street

20 December 1966

Firefighters and a man in business dress, near and inside a doorway on part of the street frontage. To the right of the photo, water and smoke damaged goods are strewn amongst the hoses over the footpath, the window on the right looks blackened and reflects the crowd opposite. However by contrast the window front to the left decorated for Christmas filled with goods for sale, and the footpath immediately in front looks virtually unaffected by the scene.
