I came across these great photos while searching the Seattle Municipal Archives for some architectural photos. The folks at the archives were good enough to send me large versions of the photos for the CD Museum. I really wish I had the names of the officials in the photos. In the far right photo it's pretty obvious that the two men in uniform are (second from right and right respectively) the Fire Chief and Police Chief. I have no idea who the other 2 men are. I assume that one must be the Civil Defense director. Just click on each photos to see a larger photo.

Mr. Brad Gilbert Deputy Director of Union County Ohio EMA sent me these photos in March 2004 of their county volunteer rescue service. Some photos have typed captions. I don't have any more information on the photos without captions. Of particular interest is the top center photo of the crew using the CD V-700 and CD V-715.
