Black and white photo of two firemen who are seated on a small wagon that is being drawn by three horses. Several brick and wood frame residential houses are visible in the background. Handwriting on the verso shows "D.F.D. approx. 1902. Eng. 9 exercise wagon shown with the steamer horses. If a fire company had no runs within a 24 hour period, the horses were exercised in local streets near the station houses. In the event of a fire, they would be notified to return to the station by ringing the tower bell."
