In 1813, U.S. troops stole Toronto’s only fire "engine" (a 17th-C Blackfriar water pump like this one) and kept it at the Navy Yard in Brooklyn. It was paraded in Manhattan as a war trophy in the 1850s, then sent to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD - it may be there still.

Another incredible antique fire truck in Toronto Fire’s collection is this TFD 1939 Ford Pumper. Restored and updated, it now serves as our ceremonial truck which participated in parades, ceremonies and funerals. #firehistory #cityoftoronto #cityofto #firefighters #tpffa

Watching my friend and colleague @marksaunderstps announce his retirement makes me feel both sad, as he will be sadly missed, but happy as he can now focus on enjoying his family and his well deserved retirement. Congrats Chief in your well deserved retirement!
