FDNY All Hands Fire - 1943

This All Hands building fire took place sometime during the fall or winter of 1943, and shows the Fire Patrol arriving on the scene and carrying tarps in to protect property. The engine that took the hydrant first was perhaps an American LaFrance, made in the early 1920's. Note, the neat looking rig that the Fire Patrol was using. The rest of the engines on the scene all appear to be Macks, some of which had open cabs while others had enclosed cabs. Note the gasoline tanks were located behind the cabs. On the enclosed cab engines you can see what looks like a Federal Sign and Signal Model l8 emergency warning light. This video was complied and edited from movie film in the Stillman Fire Collection Archieves. The original movie was silent. We added the sound track, and if you want to view it as it was taken then turn off your computer speakers.
