Spectators flank Main Street in Central City for the firemen's races in Central City, Colorado. The car in the foreground has an NBC/KOA antenna on the top of it. The door of the car has "Engineering Department Mobile Unit No. 4 KOA Denver" written on the side. "KOA" is also painted on the back door of the car. A sign that reads "Robinhood Beer Hits the Spot" hangs over the car. The "Barber and Beauty Shop" are across the street, which is next to "Mack's Pool Hall Ice Cold Pop, Tobacco, Candies, and Cigars." The firemen, who are harnessed to a hose reel, run down the street.
