Title

Oskaloosa Fire Department Water Wagon, late 1800's; Mahaska County; Iowa

Description

Getting to a fire in the late 1800's meant two things; you had a wait on your hands and you probably wouldn't have much left by the time the fire department arrived at the scene. Still, the fire department in those days did everything it possibly could to help citizens and neighbors. This scene shows a water wagon from the Oskaloosa, Iowa Fire Department in the late 1800's rushing to the scene of a fire.
