Firemen Rebuild Hook and Ladder Truck At Cedar Rapids Station
Cedar Rapids firefighters under Chief F. E. Kohout repair a wrecked hook and ladder truck at the central station after a collision with an interurban car at Second Avenue and Tenth Street. Mechanic Harry Hall leads the effort with station crew, avoiding a $5,000 factory repair and weeks of downtime. Hall trained at Elmira in 1926 and has since overseen extensive department overhauls to keep fleet active and morale high.
