This old fire apparatus was used to fight fires in Quincy and is now on display in the lobby of the National Fire Protection Association. It is an 1845 Hunneman Hand Tub appropriately named "Granite." The inscription on the front and back reads: "We Come & We Conquer".

You have a very interesting blod, and beautiful photos especially the one of the leaves1
Sorry blog not blod!
Would be nice if they went back to the bell instead of the sirens...
It is hard to believe that they would fight fires with that piece of equipment. But I guess back then it was state of the art.
I agree with Ken!
What a lovely piece of history!
