History / Biographical

The vertical wheel at the front of the wagon raised the telescoping ladder.

The horizontal wheel at the rear was used for steering the wagon.

This unit, with a small motor truck tractor, remained in service until at least 1942.

One of these horses was sold to a local deliveryman. Every time a fire brigade passed, the horse went to the fire - whether [the deliveryman] did or not! (Info: BFD driver Ted Harden - "Squeek"'s uncle)
