Paddy the clever fire horse of Engine 40
Noshk Sun describes Paddy a fire horse housed on Eighth Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. Paddy, a crew favorite, can be led by name, loosens his stall chain, bows to spectators, retrieves handkerchiefs, digs out straw pockets, weighs when thirsty, and even withholds water as a joke. He follows firemen’s moves, obeys hand signals, and performs tricks learned in spare time, proving unusually perceptive and trainable.
