Scope and content
Gas mask drills and demonstrations are being given every Tacoma fireman this week. Following a lecture on the methods of combating noxious gases, a gas mask drill is held in a special smoke chamber filled with heavy sulphur fumes. The men are roped together to prevent their being separated in the dark room. A squad is shown carrying its instructor-victim, Lieut. Claude Bray, from the smoke chamber at Station No. 5. Left to right, Francis E. West, Earl P. McCormick, Arthur M. Kelchner, Lieut. Bray, Aldus F. Willis and Capt. Clarence A. Potter. (T. Times, 10/30/1935, p. 12).
