FIREFIGHTING IN NEW YORK CITY Vol. 2 (From Horses to Horsepower), Ahrens-Fox Video Library, 1996.
Return to the era before motorized apparatus as you watch actual footage of horse drawn steam engines, hose carts and water towers racing down city streets to working fires. From there it's on to the 1904 and 1914 New York parades displaying the last of the horse drawn apparatus and the first generation of motorized equipment in the big city. Hale water towers, Dederick Aerials, Seagrave Hose Wagons, Nott engines, and Waterous engines are just a few of the stars of the parades. Even Doc Archer, the legendary FDNY physician makes an appearance as he treats men wounded battling a multiple alarm.
