It’s Jenkins KY Fire Dept’s old #3. Check me on the date. It’s hard to read the faded plate on the right side of the bumper. I looked on the ‘net and this looked like a ’47. Like I know fire trucks. Love to gaze upon them, though. They and the braves who manned them kept devastation at bay.
This is behind the former (long time ago) Intermountain Telephone Company (often referred to as the “Intermittent Telephone Company”) building in Kingsport. The arrow points to a basement entrance.
At first glance, it looks like it’s a person crouched over something. It looked that way to me when I happened on it and took the picture. But it’s not. It’s just a coat over a bag of trash, with just a little bit of a shoe in the background. Whew.
