THE NLRFD IN ACTION IN 1955
This Webpage is Dedicated To The Memory of
N.L.R.F.D. Captain H.H. "Hack" Richards |

This Photo is From The Fire at The North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce Building just
East of City Hall on Broadway circa between 1955 and 1957. Engines (Companies) 1 and 2
are visible. Also note TWO Seagrave 65' Aerial Trucks. (The The '53 is a Little Rock F.D.
Apparatus. This particular vehicle was destroyed in early 1972 at a fire at 3rd and Main in Downtown Little Rock.

Here is another view of the same fire. One of the two '47 American La France Pumpers is visible
here- most likely Co. 3, sincne it is heading East on Broadway. Also, there is a good front view of
NLR CO.2 and Little Rock Truck 4, as well as a good side view of NLR'S Ladder Truck. The
Company Designation is hard to read, but it does not appear to have "1A" lettered on the door yet.
