Vintage shots from days gone by!

I was thinking avalanche control.

 

I was never a firefighter with the LAFD, but I was involved with the department. I wrote a book, a photo history of some of their early fire apparatus, the more unique stuff, from the years 1881 through 1974. This was done through the departments photo archives and ***istance from many of the chiefs. I had a LAFD fire line p*** and also spent many days and evenings riding on calls in the fire engines and fire trucks. I still have friends in the department although all the chiefs I knew are long gone.

This is the cover of what was basically a "coffee table" type book, published in 1974.

 

They tried this a few weeks back in Minnesota ....The tank got stuck.....

The road conditions are still terrible. Please do not drive unless there is an absolute emergency. There is currently a tank, yes a literal military tank that got stuck on our roads last night when the National Guard was trying to help stranded motorists. If a tank cannot make it you probably should not try.

 

And don't forget the fact that it used a roll of toilet paper as an oil filter.

 

The "big snow" of Thanksgiving 1950. I was only 5, but I remember it.

 

Agreed. No one should ever think life is fair. Besides, don't we don't need political or racial rants on this site.
