Group of youngsters, some wearing firemen's gear, in front of Fire Station at 50 Wheeler St. apparently on a tour of the facilities. The following is information from Dave Haney, Battalion Chief/Training Officer of the Arcadia Fire Department at 630 S. Baldwin, provided via email on November 18, 2007 : "The pumper in this photo was called 'Squad,' and was a Class B pumper, which means the fire pump is much smaller than the ones we have today (2007). It is a Mack with a 750 gallon per minute fire pump and a 400 gallon water tank. It ran as Engine 1 out of the Wheeler Station. When Wheeler Station closed, it was moved over to the Santa Anita Fire Station until she was retired. So far there has been some confusion over the year of manufacture of the pumper. Some old timers tell me either a 1943, 1944, or 1947."

A two-engined plane is seen crashed nose down into "snow". There are about 11 motion picture employees working about. One can see expanses of "snowy" terraine, with San Gabriel Mountains showing above sets. Printed on plane are words: PIERCE+RONDELLE ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION. Ray Ramuz, who lived across from Arcadia County Park area where this was filmed, said that the "snow" was bleached corn flakes.
