1912: Chief John Rush and Victor, the Fire Horse That Lost it on Varick Street » ChiefCrokerBuggy
Chief Edward Croker (white hat) and his driver John Rush sometime in the 1910’s – I’m not certain whether the horse is Victor or Bullet. By this time chiefs in FDNY were using automobiles to respond to fires, but horse-drawn buggies were kept in reserve because motorized vehicles were still not always reliable.
