The Terrell Heritage Museum provides some background (see link):
This mural was painted on the side of the Terrell Volunteer Fire Department at the southwest corner of South Frances and the railroad tracks. It shows Terrell Volunteer Fire Department’s long time relationship with the City of Terrell as the city's only fire department for many years. Shown in the fire truck on the right is former Volunteer Fire Chief John R. Briggs and in the fire truck on the left, former longtime volunteer fireman Dal Harper, the father of Terrell's current paid Fire Department Chief, Jim Harper. This mural was painted by Sunny Delipsey and was sponsored by The Terrell Heritage Society.
