Publisher's Synopsis
Take a ride with the New York Fire Department through a pictorial history, from the first horse-drawn pumpers to the newest ladder trucks. Over 400 photographs of NYC's firefighting trucks are organised chronologically, accompanied by insightful commentary about the trucks, equipment, and the times. Descriptive photo captions provide specifications and other technical information. A special photograph section pays tribute to the equipment used and lost in the World Trade Center disaster of 11 September.
