Large black and white photograph of nine firefighters practicing with a life net outside of the Detroit Fire Department Training Academy at West Warren Avenue and Lawton Street. Eight men hold the net below another man, whose legs are visible at the top of the frame, standing on the roof of a single-floor outcropping of the building. A ladder is leaned against the building on the right, and several cars are parked in the background. A sign reading, "ammonia vent valve," is posted on the wall to the left of the trainees. Another ladder leans against the fire escape on the left side of the image. The photo is mounted on linen.
