Additional text on item: Although crippled by infantile paralysis, Dickinson has followed local fires for the past fifteen years in his motored wheel chair. He has two radios in this home--one a police radio and one tuned to the fire department--from which he gets his "tips." A Harvard graduate and former fire insurance expert, he photographs fires as a hobby.
