and more fire engines!

I don’t know when or where these photos were taken, but they make a nice collection of portraits — of firemen, horses, fire-fighting equipment, and even a couple of dogs.

The notation on the back of this portrait reads, “Engine No. 7, Syracuse Fire Department, in front of the engine house at E. Fayette St., June 6, 1909.” Andy Schaffer was the driver and the horses were (left to right) Walter, Ottowa, and Jimmy.

Although this photo is not in very good shape, and I have no identifying information or date, I can’t help but find it rather amusing. Check out the cat by the rear wheel, who’s no doubt investigating the contents of the fish wagon.
