"Open house at fire department", 1970-10-19
Scope and Contents
"The first annual open house of the Escondido Fire Department was staged at the main Quince Street station Saturday. Fireman First Class Gary Taylor (right) shows a group of school children the intricacies of one of the department's shiny trucks. The children attended the observance in reward for completing a "home fire safety report" in their classrooms. Also, each child completing the report received an identification card proclaiming him a "junior fire marshal." The children also got a ride on a fire truck (with screaming sirens) and were treated to refreshments and movie. Fire Chief Louis Whyte estimated 1,200 persons attended the tours."
