1904 "Metropolitan" Steam Engine

"Steamers" came into wide use in American cities from about 1855 until 1915. This one was built in the Ahrens-Fox shops by the American Fire Engine Company for the city of Reno, Nevada.

A large engine for its time, it could pump 750 gpm. It was drawn by three horses and staffed by three firefighters. The rest of the engines crew responded separately on a hose wagon.

This beautiful apparatus is currently on display in Gallery 1.

1897/1915 Christie-Champion Water Tower

This Water Tower was built in 1897 for the Toledo, Ohio Fire Department. It is a historical development of fire apparatus, as it represents the transition to motorized rigs. This Water Tower was originally horse drawn with a team of three horses pulling it in the opposite direction that it now goes in. By 1915, it was converted to gasoline power,with the installation of the Christie Tractor. This attachment features a transverse mounted engine, with chain driven front wheel drive.

Here's another amazing aspect to this rig....it stayed in front line service until 1950.
