A dense, remarkably-detailed photo composite showing the twenty-five Los Angeles Fire Department Engine Companies as well as a variety of other dynamic scenes (many of them composites themselves). Many of the images show the engine company’s firehouse encircled by portraits of firefighters or horse-drawn fire-engines. One humorous scene shows a firehouse dog standing on his hind legs, overlaid on the building to look as if he reaches about halfway to the top of it.
