10 posts in this topic

I found this while putting off doing my math homework at school.....

early 1900s videos

They are videos from the early 1900s...theres a few from NYC, cleveland, and NJ.

Pretty nifty to see the horses flying by! Check out the one in montreal, the horses are pulling fire sleds!

They are filmed by good old Tom Edison

the site also has alot of other history on firefighting on it.

These have been around for a while but were always hard to find. I found them awhile back but could never track them down again.

Thanks '57!

Wow! Those are fantastic. The horses that pulled the apparatus must've been absolutely magnificent animals.
