The American Fire Station - Softcover

This red-hot tribute delivers the fascinating history of fire stations and the unique culture that surrounded them, from 1880s stables filled with horse-drawn fire wagons through the advent of "modern" styled stations of the late 1960s. The story of how fire-station design and fire-engine design effected each other is told through the use of historical black and white and modern color photography of restored stations, vehicles, and equipment. See how fire engines, firefighters, and their gear evolved in The American Fire Station.
