Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge Fire Jeep in Use Battling a Fire Near the Refuge in 1948

View of a jeep from the left side, and slightly behind; the vehicle is parked on the edge of a wooded area. A man (wearing a broadbrimmed hat) stands in front of the jeep, using what appears to be a hose to battle the fire in the trees and vegetation. Another man is sitting in the driver's seat of the jeep, while a third man stands at the back of the jeep. Smoke hangs in the air around the jeep. The tree in the right foreground appears to be burnt.
