Pic of chief officer from the 1930's

7 posts in this topic

I remember seeing a pic several years ago in a book of I think an FDNY battalion chief from the 1930's. It was in black and white obviously. The photographer took the shot of the front of the chief, as he was standing in his rubber coat and leather helmet and boots, looking up at whatever building was on fire. I believe his battalion car was also behind him. It might've been a higher ranking chief; I have trouble remembering the exact rank and his name. The pic told a very big story, just from the look in his eyes. Does anyone have that pic or know which one I'm talking about?

Might have been a book published by the NY Daily News for their photo coolection featuring the FDNY. I have the book at home and will see if there is a photo such as the one described.
