Title
Oskaloosa, Iowa's Fire Horses, Doris and Coly after fire on May 23, 1909
Subject
Description
This was a photograph taken after the Bennett-Loughridge house fire on May 23, 1909, of fire horses Doris and Coly with driver Elmert Patterson, captain of the Oskaloosa Fire Department. Also riding in the picture is John Starlin, one of the town's firemen. The horse and wagon with large buckets of water was the way that fires were fought by community firemen until the end of the 1910's, when the first conception of an automobile equipped with a water hose came about.
