Photo Friday: Brookside at Play

Brookside students enjoy the Cranbrook fire engine, 1936. Richard G. Askew/Cranbrook Archives.

Brookside students know how to multitask—while enjoying playtime, they’re also learning the ins and outs of fire safety. This photo, taken in 1936, shows Brookside students enjoying playtime on the Cranbrook fire engine. Especially endearing are the rubber galoshes; whether the children are wearing them to fight a fire or jump in puddles, they’re prepared for anything.

Hi Cec! If you click on the image, you will be taken to the database where you can zoom in and see if that really is your Uncle Dom’s face. Let me know!
