I doubt the photo is from the infamouse Watts riots as the letters on the back of the firemans coat is BFD,
Watts is a suburb of LA.
I think it's actually a photo taken from the Arrjuna familly album. it was labled "Familly reunion. 1968"

I'm guessing maybe Birmingham FD.

The photo was swiped from a site that mentions racial tensions in the south, and although they don't identify the photo, Birminghan is a excellent guess.

That was my assumption -- Birmingham, 1963, when Bull Connor used the fire department and police dogs to try to disperse schoolchildren engaged in a non-violent civil rights protest. Neither our country's, nor those firemen's finest hour.
p.s. Thanks for the details on the Firetub, Cooltoy!

Sorry, I'm a goofball. I found a reference for Birmingham, and other riots, and I guess I cut and pasted the wrong url. I first thought that it was Berkeley, which was why I started the search. I think the BFD is Birmingham, though I could be wrong.
