We continue the evolution of fire pumpers, seeing some cool manual operated ones, steam powered fire pumpers, and horse-drawn pumpers!

Then into modern day fire pumpers that were diesel powered, open-cab, closed cab, variations, and even a jeep that was turned into a fire pumper.

And every pumper need’s it’s best friend, the fire dalmation, all told by Fireman Pete.

This one is all about fire hand-pumpers. We start with the two-wheel hand-pulled carts and move through 2-man pumpers though 20-man team pumpers, horse-drawn fire pumpers, and into the mechanized fire pumpers of modern day.

It's a fascinating look into culture, technology, and teamwork, with Fireman Pete.

Fireman Pete fire history items, let's go! We'll look at the first Fire Brigade started by Ben Franklin, and explore Fire Markers you can see around Philadelphia and other cities.

You'll get a live demonstration of what a fire rattle sounds like, and what it would be like for fireman in the 1800's to hear orders yelled out of a Speaking Trumpet.

Then we check two cool personalities in the first woman firefighter Molly Williams, and a Philadelphia blacksmith, Patrick Lyon, that made some of the best fire hand-pumpers around.
