Here is an 11-12 minute video of 120 photos (most are black and white) taken in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn by Ira Hoffman, an HONORARY FDNY Assistant Chief.
Back in those days, Ira hung out in the Brownsville area as a photographer/buff with Engine 231, Ladder 120, and the 44 Battalion on Watkins St
Of course some of you may know Ira, who started the business of www.fire-police-ems.com in Hudson, Mass.
He has since retired and sold that business to another individual.
However he still keeps active, giving talks of the importance of having working smoke detectors.
Here is that video which has NO Sound, just some great pictures of some of the guys on the job back then, and the work they caught.
