Fire drill on the Place du Palais. Monaco 1951

During a fire drill on Monaco's Place du Palais in 1951, a vintage fire truck extends its ladder towards a grand, multi-story building. Firefighters aim powerful jets of water at the upper floors, from which smoke billows. The building is curiously adorned with festive flags and garlands. Below, hoses snake across the pavement while onlookers observe the dramatic scene from the balconies and roof of an adjacent building.
