FDNY Rescue 1 at Madison Square Garden

Great photo of Rescue 1 taken outside Madison Square Garden during one of the 1947 Midnight Alarm shows. There were several versions of the Midnight Alarm, where the FDNY showed their skills to a arena filled with people. The proceeds from the first show (1935) went to purchasing an ambulance for the department. Subsequent shows raised money to send the FDNY band to the American Legion convention in 1938, and this show in 1947 to help the FDNY Welfare Fund.
