Fire engine

Blazing Saddles

This horse-drawn manual fire engine cost £225.1s.0d when purchased by 548 subscribers and 60 volunteers of the Horsham Voluntary Fire Brigade in 1863 from Shand and Mason, London.

Twenty men were needed to operate the engine with two horses kept on standby to pull the engine when required. The 1977 restoration was carried out by firemen from the Divisional Headquarters of the Sussex Fire Brigade, Hurst Road, Horsham.
