I found this fantastic video from youtube.com, it depicts life as an American Fireman in 1903.

I love those old videos and photos. It's like Currier and Ives come to life.

Those days are gone forever There weren't many "back-step boys" left. Sometimes it's good(rarely), sometimes it's hard to explain why we do some of the things we do. I worked from a firehouse built in 1901, I know why! And no we didn't have horses, but we still were lead by old-time beliefs!
