Title
English: Firemen and hoses at the Grand Trunk Pacific Dock fire, July 30, 1914
Description
English: When the huge fire broke out at the all-wood Grand Trunk Pacific Dock on July 30, 1914, the fire department sounded a 6666 alarm, calling in all but two reserve units to fight the blaze. The Seattle Times reported that when one rushing engine turned over, its crew hailed a passing automobile to get them to the fire.

In this photo, crowds look on as groups of firemen fight the huge blaze at the Grand Trunk Pacific Dock. Two steam-powered pumping engines (lower right) maintain the water pressure in the hoses. The Seattle Times estimated that 50,000 spectators gathered to watch the fire.
