Photograph of a Dallas Fire Department firefighter looking on as a tall cloud of smoke billows from the top of the Edson of Texas pillow factory building. The firefighter is wearing a long jacket and standing on a fire engine that is parked facing left.

On the back of the photograph are stamps, handwritten text, and a portion of a label giving information about the photograph.
