      HORSE DRAWN STEAM FIRE ENGINE TO GALLOP ON CAPITOL HILL

         Re-enactment of the Last Run of the Fire Horses on 100th
Anniversary

(Washington, DC) – One hundred years ago, on June 15, 1925, the DC Fire
Department held a ceremonial Last Run of the Horses. The purpose of the
event was to commemorate the service of these great fire horses, who pulled
the equipment for decades but were no longer needed due to the advent of
motorized fire apparatus.

Re-live the excitement of that occasion this Sunday June 15th, at 1 PM, as
three mighty steeds will once again pull a cosmetically preserved 1905
American LaFrance horse-drawn steam fire engine down a DC Avenue.

The horse-drawn engine will run from the William H. Rumsey Aquatic Center
at 635 North Carolina Ave, SE, to Lincoln Park, where there will be a
community reception immediately following the procession.

This event is organized by the DC Fire and EMS Department in partnership
with the Friendship Fire Association and the DC Fire & EMS Foundation.
Historic film footage of the 1925 event can be found at:
