The scene captures a narrow street in what appears to be a European city. A fire truck with an extended ladder is positioned in the middle of the street. Two firefighters are in the basket of the ladder, examining or working on something attached to the wall of a building on the left. One firefighter and a police officer are standing on the ground, near the base of the ladder. Vapor or steam is being released in front of the building where the firefighters are working. People are walking on the street, some pausing to observe the activity. The buildings lining the street are multi-story, with balconies and ornate architectural details. The street is paved with rectangular stone tiles. The sky is overcast.
