Fireman Bio inside Fire In the Hole
« on: April 09, 2014, 09:37:23 PM »
If I remember correctly the entrance area of FItH has several framed bio's of both the baldknobbers and fire fighters from the ride.   If my childhood memories are accurate there's a picture of a firefighter coming down a ladder carrying a saloon girl from the burning saloon.  The caption below the picture reads something similar to "Firefighter Steve Jones- "He's A Real Go Getter"  I'm trying to figure out the name of the firefighter from that picture (clearly his I made Steve Jones up because I couldn't remember the actual name).  If anyone remembers and can help me out, or if they happen to be going to SDC in the near future and could take a pic I would greatly appreciate it.  I'm pretty sure these were in the same room as the mural, but hanging on the walls below the mural.  I was able to find a pic of one of the baldknobber versions of the bio's, and I've attempted to post a link below- but I'm looking for a specific firefighter picture.  Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Ah, that answers the question! I worked at FITH a bit back in the day, loading guests into the queue line. However, I never had time to look at all the stuff on the walls. I do love the artwork, and am glad over the years they have kept it.
