The image showcases a group of brave firefighters engaged in extinguishing a tank engulfed in burning petroleum at the intersection of 59th Street and 11th Avenue. Their valiant efforts are supported by the innovative Hastings System for fighting fires. The intensity of this historic moment is beautifully captured through an intricately detailed wood engraving from American artist Granger. The flames dance menacingly, creating an aura of danger and urgency that permeates every inch of this artwork. In an era when fire posed significant threats to cities like Manhattan, these fearless firefighters risked their lives daily to protect their communities.
