Image description

One of a series of satires mocking the ineptitude of Philadelphia volunteer firefighters. Shows a volunteer, in full uniform, offering a flowing fire hose to an unsuspecting gentleman on a street corner. The gentleman whose hands are occupied with a cigar and a cane looks aghast at the firefighter. A woman watches the scene from the window of her dwelling. Additional streetscape, including a storefront, is visible in the background.
