Title: [Fighting a fire on the roof of a townhouse]
Description:

Fire fighting on the roof of a townhouse. A fire ladder reaches to the roof , presumably from a truck across the street, though that truck is not fully visible. A fireman sits atop the ladder, holding a hose as smoke billows overhead. A group of onlookers has gathered, facing away from the camera.
