Manuel: That's Fire Station #3, 2200 West Main Street at Poplar Avenue in Alhambra, California in 1931. http://www.cityofalhambra.org/community/scrapbook.html

As for the RHD vehicles, it appears from old images that many fire truck manufacturers retained RHD long after passenger cars settled on LHD here in the States. Also, fire trucks tend to stay in service a long time; Alhambra's trucks may have been 5-15 years old when this picture was taken(?).

As for the "flash car"... I'm guessing Auburn? Help, anyone?
