[Horse Drawn Fire Wagon]
Date: c. 1912
Creator: unknown
Description: Mineral Wells had an early horse-drawn fire wagon pulled by two white horses, named Joe and Frank, driven by a man named Cogdell. This picture is included on page 189 of the Second Edition of "TIME WAS in Mineral Wells", by A. F. Weaver. The city's first fire station was located at 202 N. Oak Ave. and the horses had difficulty responding to an emergency call from this fire station because the fire wagon's wheels tended to get caught in the street car tracks that ran down the center of Oak Ave. which was not paved at that time. This fire appears to be in the central business district as the roofs of two multi-story buildings are visible at the upper left edge of the picture. Fire hoses laid along the street are being utilized by two men in the left middle backgound to furnish water to fight the fire. The location of this particular fire is not known, but Mineral Wells has experienced several disastrous fires in the past; one in 1908 (near the time of this picture) destroyed six city blocks.
