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 assistance from many of the chiefs. I had a LAFD fire line pass 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.
