Title
Edinburgh Fire Brigade at the scene of a fire with horses and spectators at Baker's Place, Stockbridge
Description
Three Edinburgh firemen stand on the roof of a burning building. Two are wearing brass helmets and the third is directing a hose towards the smoke billowing from the roof. They have reached the roof via a long set of ladders that are mounted on a wagon. Horse drawn fire engines stand at the side of the scene. The horses have been detached from the engines. The front windows of the burning shop have been smashed and a large crowd of people can be seen to the right of the buildings.
