The Boys Who Used to Run Firemen’s Errands Are Grown Men Now… …Chasing Fires With Buff Badges Pinned on Their Coats
“…I found the buffs to be a nice bunch of sociable fellows. If I wasn’t paid by PM for going to fires I’d join the Fire Bell Club and do it for a hobby. But only in summer time, not on Winter nights when press camera shutters freeze. Camera men freeze on cold nights, too, while we’re on the subject.”

The fire was in a paper bag company on the third floor.

Twenty Degree Weather at Greene and Fourth Sts., New York froze up the street, so that even photographers were freezing. NYU Business School (above) illustrates how NYU has taken over (parts of) NYC… Wee could be wrong about this location, but it appears that NYU has taken over Greene and Third Sts…
