Fire Fighter Transportation

When my father-in-law was a teen, he got drafted to help pull the old horse-drawn fire-hose cart in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. They’d get in the back of a truck and hang on to the tongue of the fire-hose cart, while the driver drove to the fire.

Enjoy this selection from bygone times:

Another antique – this one shot by Gracey.

It’s a shame this baby hasn’t been restored – photo taken by Ray Forester.

I can’t tell if this one is old or not, but sure a picturesque scene by Bianca Meyer geb. Bollmeier.

Fortunately, we have better ways to get the equipment to the fire these days:

These three were taken by Kevin Connors. He has quite the collection of emergency vehicles--I've only given you a sampling this week and last.
