Working on Wednesday: Fire on Grenfell Ranch - 1949

Dad Currey joined the fire line and shot these two photos of a minor grass fire on his father-in-law's ranch in Lawrence County, South Dakota. He captioned the second one "Getting names for fire checks" so some of these guys must have been volunteers, not members of a regular fire department.


[From my personal collection]

I was two years old so it's not surprising I have no memory of this event--without the captions on the cardboard slide holders I would have been clueless.
