Here is the photo from the completion Report of the Constructing Quartermaster, Marion C. Tadlock, of the posts
Fire station, Type F-2, in 1941. The station was built to the U.S. Army's Theater of Operations Style Plans as
part of phase one in the building of the Camp.

I have removed the large handwritten T-502 from the face of the photo, as the building number is evident in the
building board on the front of the structure itself. I also cleaned up assorted spots and dust motes. This authorizes
non exclusive, non-commercial right to make use of the photo for Campo Fire purposes. Please credit Mountain Empire
Historical Society in any print or web publication uses.
Also, click
this link for a detailed description of the station and it's part of historic
Camp Lockett.
