New York's Bravest - A Firefighting Odyssey - Part 1

The New York Fire Fighting Department is probably one of the most efficient and organized forces of its kind that the modern world has ever known. It needs to be, considering the complexity of that particular city. However, the limitations that professional fire fighting units faced between the ‘20s and ‘40s were severe. Technology as we know it today was still science fiction back then, as is clearly evidenced by the footage from the famous Stillman Fires Collection included in the 2-DVD set New York’s Bravest – A Firefighting Odyssey (the first installment of a dual release on this subject). It is hard to picture the scenario as it was back then, with fire fighting carriages having to evolve from horse-drawn and steam-propelled to the more advanced motor-driven versions, and the severe restrictions of low-powered water jets. As technology and technique evolved, so did the effectiveness of the New York Fire Department. Inventions like the Conran Monorail Nozzle system forever changed the danger-fraught world of professional fire fighters. All in all, a great educational tour de force made all the more effective by the rudimentary photography.
