Firepics-THE place for fire photographers

Now to take you back in time. The Water Tower in Action along with 2 wooden Aerial Ladders in the 300 blk of Pa. Ave. NW.1925. Also take notice of the Hose Bridge on the left so that the trolly tracks would stay open. But it looks like a Pumperman parked on the tracks <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Thanks to Shorpy.com for the pic.
