1917 Hose Cart (1924 - 1925)


This
is the oldest known picture of the Bower Hill VFD, from the Autumn of
1924. The newly-acquired hose wagon is in front of the newly-acquired
fire station on Montgomery Avenue. The fire hose has yet to be placed
on the hose wagon. At this date, it may not have been delivered yet.
The axe, spanner and nozzle may well be the total firefighting
assets of the department.
