1930--Women firefighters--outtakes

Description:

Outtakes from a story about the women members of the West Palm Beach Volunteer Fire Department. The women are shown sleeping, playing cards and the piano. Several staged scenes of women rushing to put on boots and gear to slide down pole, as fire alarm bell rings. They are seen running to the fire truck and powdering their noses before leaving the station. There are also shots of women pretending to fight fires, climb ladders and ropes, and connecting the fire hose to a hydrant and spraying water onto a building.
