Summary
| Description |
English: Firefighters in Burien, Washington rest after fighting a house fire. This photograph won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography.
As captioned in the newspaper: "Smoke hung in the air as weary fire fighters rested after a blaze early this morning which destroyed a two-story, waterfront home at 16529 Maplewild Ave. S.W. Jim Scott, assistant chief of King County Fire District 2, said a barking dog awakened Mr. and Mrs. John F. Neuffer, enabling them and their two children to escape from the burning cliffside home. They had taken in the wandering mongrel dog a few days ago. The house burned to the ground. A clock found in the rubble had stopped at 5:15 a.m. Scott estimated the loss at $25,000 to $30,000. — Staff photo by Jerry Gay." |
