Pickering Fire Brigade in action,
November 1930. Mr. Charles Boulton was
repairing his car in the garage and
joiners shop in Willowgate, when the car
caught fire and the petrol tank exploded.
The car and all the contents of the
building were destroyed and Mr. Boulton
was severely burnt. The fireman holding
the hose is Joe Taylor. It was reported by
a member of the admiring onlookers that as
a joke one of the firemen turned the hose
onto the crowd in order to cool them down.
