Firefighter's Convention demonstration of fire fighting techniques held June 19, 1936 at the Stadium Bowl. The three hour show went on into the evening. In this night scene, you can see the five story sample structure used by the Tacoma Fire Department to demonstrate techniques on tall buildings. A 1 1/2 story house was hauled onto the field and burned as a demonstration. Pictured are structures, fire trucks, ambulance, medical personnel and firefighters in mock demonstrations. (T.
