Scope and content
As part of the Fire College held in Tacoma June 17-20, 1936, a three hour fire fighting demonstration was held at the Stadium Bowl on June 19th. The finale was the setting fire of a 1 1/2 story structure. The fire was allowed to engulf the building; the Tacoma Fire Department then extinguished the flame. Here one man stands on a ladder at the second story window holding a can of gasoline; another man poses inside the window. They are getting the building ready to be sent up in flames.
