The majority of photographs are from the 1962 Melody Ranch fire (Santa Clarita). Some may be from the 1966 Loop fire (Sylmar). Photographs depict patient transport, damage, smoke, and show the confusion and fear in faces of those on the scene.

Photographs in this date range still capture patients and staff, but focus more on public affairs and fundraising events, natural disasters, volunteers and volunteer work, advances in medical equipment, and include small collections of identified staff and patient photos.
