Buena Vista Hose team No. 1 pose outside the Courthouse after winning first place on July 4th, with a final time of 31 seconds. The photo was owned by John Mear, so he may be one of the unidentified men. Harvey Mear leads the team. On the side of the tongue closest to the viewer, one is unknown, but the other three, front to back are Butch Hawkins, Earl Quiggle, and Bob Brooks. On the far side of the tongue, front to back, are Frank Newitt, Les Johnson, unidentified, and Ed Sexton. At the back of the cart, left to right, are Dane Brooks, Elmer Brooks, and Foozy Enderline. The man in the white shirt and black vest is unidentified. The boy in the dark outfit behind the team is Bill Crymble, son of Sheriff Hugh Crymble. The man holding the starting pistol is Earny Litz.
