Scope and ContentVideo of fire at Hoboken Fire Department Firehouse, 1313 Washington St., Hoboken, n.d., ca. 1988-1990. Color, sound. Running time: 1:02. Digital video disk; three copies (copies 1 + 2 at HHM; copy 3 HFDM.)

A remarkable visual document of a fire and the Fire Department and firemen in action made even more notable by the fact that an active firehouse on the National Register for Historic Places (built 1891) was involved.

Video taken by resident living on on an upper floor on the west side of Washington Street directly across from firehouse.
