Newscopy: "Out we go to the Sunset District for today's picture, which was taken, looking sort of southwesterly, from beside the Sunset Reservoir, at 26th-av and Quintara-st. In foreground are some of the Sunset's famous sand dunes and brush, and a bit of 27th-av." Newscopy: "UNPROTECTED--Swollen with the increase of wartime population, the Sunset District of San Francisco is scattered with new homes - but the war which increased the population didn't provide a like increase in fire protection. Actually the growing district has less men and equipment protecting it now than before the war, due to diversion to the waterfront and industrial areas. Plans for a new firehouse to serve it and the Parkside District are still waiting."
