 1941 Oct.

Civilian protection. Fully equipped to cope with whatever difficulties they may encounter, these New York City volunteer auxiliary firemen workers are climbling up a fire ladder to the roof of a building struck by bombs. Fartherest up the ladder is a worker equipped with an "Indian" fire pump, valuable in fighting incendiary bombs. The man below him is carrying a two-way portable radio. Next is a volunteer worker with a portable acetylene torch, used for cutting through metal to effect entrances or to extricate victims pinned under fallen metal. The man just starting up the ladder is carrying a roof rope, and all are equipped with gas masks.
