A little of everything is in this photo. There are 17 people holding the life net which is apparently to be used to rescue the damsels in distress who are in the windows of the building. There are three pompier ladders on the building along with a rescue rope, and just in case, a mattress lies in the street. The dog in front of the storefront on the left shows no interest at all in the drill.
