Content description:
A ground level diagonal view of Hangar # 1 at the Oakland Municipal Airport. Two more hangars are on the far side of #1, the farthest one unfinished. Floodlights and weather gauges are on top of the peak of hangar #1. The rear end ofa fire truck is at left lower. Behind a cordoned off area in front of the hangar, there are men seated on benches, standing, and walking. This is a print that has been cropped from 2001.1.9, so that one can see that this photo is of an event in which people are cordoned off from the hangar as well as what is outside the hangar.
Concepts:
hangar; fire engine
