Image description

One of a series of satires mocking the ineptitude of Philadelphia volunteer firefighters. Shows a volunteer, in full uniform, spraying a boy bystander in the face, instead of a crumbling, burning building, with a fire hose. The fire hose is attached to a hand-pumper visible in the background. Also shows fire debris, a hose attached to a hydrant, other fire fighters attending the fire engine, and the storefront of "F. Adams."
