This book explores the history of FDNY hose wagons, from their early days alongside steamers to specialized units serving airports and beaches. Featuring 59 historic photographs and detailed information, it’s a must-have for FDNY and vintage fire apparatus enthusiasts.
From Fire Apparatus Journal Publications comes an in-depth look at the history of FDNY hose wagons and their important role in firefighting.
Dating back to the days of steam-powered fire engines, hose wagons served alongside steamers, carrying hose, fittings, ladders, and much of the crew. As gasoline-powered pumpers entered service in the 1910s, many FDNY engine companies continued operating with two pieces of apparatus. The department continued ordering hose wagons through 1941, with the last regular wagon built by the FDNY Shops in 1952.
This book explores the evolution of FDNY hose wagons across generations, from traditional company apparatus to specialized units such as Satellites and airport and beach-service wagons.
Packed with historical photographs and information, this is a must-have addition for anyone interested in FDNY history and classic fire apparatus.
