Pointing Out Fire Hazards
Image
Fire hazards are pointed out in a model house by Battalion Chief Edward McCabe for Cub Scouts of Pack 566 at Manitoba School. The ten-year-old boy scouts peering over the roof are (from left): Craig Byers, William Watson and James Zamjahn. The boys are wearing their scout uniforms and fire helmets. Chief McCabe is also wearing a uniform. A sign on the model house reads "Milwaukee Fire Department House of Hazards."
