Insurance agents distributed local fire photos like this one to drum up business. It was pretty convincing advertising.
On Dec. 17, 1925, fire broke out at the Mast Foos plant in Springfield, Ohio, and the city's aging steamer was put back to work supplementing motorized fire apparatus. Notice that part of a wall collapsed.
Mast Foos, founded in 1884, produced Iron Turbine Wind Engines, Buckeye Force Pumps and Buckeye Lawn Mowers.
