Lorain Uses Dual Horse Teams for Fire Duty and Street Work
Lorain maintains two horse teams ready for fire department use, one at the north hose house and one at the south side, with two additional houses east of the river and at South Lorain. The teams, about six months in service, cost under 300 dollars each and require under 140 dollars monthly for care and two on-call men. Chief Lou Dawes notes five minutes at a fire is worth thirty later, as teams rush to place and drop harness immediately, enabling faster response and potentially saving substantial property.
