Another man is seated in the driver's seat in the jeep. They are located in a grassy area, with a roadway just visible behind the jeep, and a tree in the middle distance.

Refuge Manager Ernest J. Greenwalt stands beside the refuge fire-jeep while using the portable radio to contact personnel at refuge headquarters; these radios have proved themselves invaluable when grass fires are spotted in isolated portions of the refuge. Fred Cunningham, an assistant to Mr. Greenwalt, sits in the driver's seat. Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, October 1948.
