- USE CC FOR 'DETAILS' OF THE VIDEO...........
A 'run' from old central station to the Massillon State Hospital on S. Erie. The white Disaster Unit is a 1949 Chevy; No. 1 pump a 1941 Seagrave 750; and the aerial a 1941 / 65 ft. Seagrave. The DU was not used for transport, basically a EMT 'responce' vehicle. It 'shared' the W. bay of the station with a 1953 Dodge-Power Wagon.
Notice all the bright, flashing, blinding 'strobe' warning lights on the apparatus...WOW!
This station was replaced in 1970, and the building demolished to build the City Hall.
Seen in the film are;
1 - Capt. Harold Zimmer (in the watch office) & 'getting into' the pumper
2 - Joseph Stevens driving the Disaster Unit
3 - Fireman Virgil Edie driving the aerial
Glad I stumbled across this video... One of the fireman in the video is my grandpa... Joe Stevens, the fireman who got into the the white vehicle... My mom (his daughter) was glad to see the video...
These old videos are hard to find on CZcams!
Happy that you and you mother enjoyed the 'old' 8mm film. I knew your grandpa also, a very nice gentlemen for sure. However, I wish the [old] film was of better quality...but this the best I could do..."preservation of MFD history".
Didn't this video have music before? And didn't you also have a video of the Conrad Hotel fire? I don't see it anymore on youtube.
Yes it had music, but I edited it to add the 'alarm gong'. I will replace the Conrad fire ASAP. Thanks for watching...............
I used to live in Massillon and love seeing videos from there.
Not a huge fan of the new music. I watched this video when it was first uploaded and thoroughly enjoyed it. This time around I had to put it on "mute."
Shawn. Thank you for the comment, and I didn't realize that the 'new' music was a bit offensive..so I 'altered' it. See if this is better..."the original sound track" :-)
