Description
Scene in color 1914
Original Title: Three horse team fire truck
Location: 1327 F Street, Washington DC
This interesting device is called a water tower. When they arrived on the scene, it would be set up and raised above the fire so the water would shoot down.
But what is more interesting in this image are the horses. These are specially trained fire horses. Each one had its spot and knew where to go. It would stand in the spot it needed to be in. And someone outside would chain them up. The entire process took about 15 seconds.
There is no significance of putting the brown one in the center, but the OCD in me appreciates the balance.
