Other photographs include portraits of Beaumont's fire chiefs, and the fire marshals of Texas. Likewise, the collection holds a few photographs of the aftermath of the New London School natural gas explosion of March 18, 1937, which killed more than 295 students, and is the worst catastrophe to take place in a school in the United States. These photographs show the total devastation of the city which resulted from the explosions. Rogers began building hand-tub fire engines in Waterford, New York. The story of American-LaFrance goes back to the 1832, when John F. No firm has had more influence on the design of modern fire apparatus than American-LaFrance. At least 581 people were killed after massive explosions occurred on the SS Grandcamp, docked at Texas City. American-LaFrance may be the greatest name in the history of fire apparatus.
Photographs of particular interest include those taken immediately after the Texas City disaster of April 16, 1947. Images of Beaumont's fire stations and firemen are also included.
