Subject: More Firefighting Stuff
Various firefighting methods and devices are demonstrated in this silent firefighterâs film from the 1920s. Fans of fire, firefighting, and squirting water should like this. I liked the cool model 10-story building they used in one segment and want it for the Film Ephemera Museum of Quirky Devices.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.

Subject: Put that in your pipe and smoke it! lol
Some demonstrations of fire fighting techniques which may or may not be still used. I havent seen them used.. so.. straight pipes, cellar pipes, (with or without curves!) then a demo of the cellar pipes on an actual fire! Woo exciting no? Well, not really.
