Oct. 2, 1963: Probationary firemen participated in a drill described in The Times “one of the biggest — but safest — ‘fires’ in town.” Audience members laughed and cheered while 30 people were “rescued” by firemen at a five-story tower on Welfare Island. The fire college site was dedicated by the city and was said to be “the finest” in the world at the time. Photo: Meyer Liebowitz/The New York Tmes
