Now available in paperback, this handsome tribute examines how the constant evolution of an ubiquitous American landmark has been the result of advances in firefighting equipment, namely the fire engine. Today's modern fire stations are a far cry from the early 19th century stables that housed hand pumps and horse-drawn fire wagons. As yesteryear's wooden fire wagons evolved into today's gleaming red fire engines, so too evolved the fire station. A huge collection of historical black-and-white photos is complemented by an impressive selection of crisp, modern color photography featuring shots of restored stations and firefighting equipment, including vehicles, helmets, axes, bells, ladders, and hoses. Even the Dalmatian makes an appearance or two. Stunning visual images also include firefighters battling actual blazes.

Very Good. Brief gift inscription by previous owner. 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.
