They took sport with those old horse drawn pumpers in the cartoons and the Little Rascals serial. The only horse drawn holdout I remember was Jake the rag man and his call for "rags and bones". Regarding the State House fire, I remember seeing a portion of the old roof in the space over the current governors "inner" office. They did not fully demolish it but just built around it.

1934: TRENTON HOSE NO. 1 HAND DRAWN FIRE APPARATUS
How I love sepia views! In fact, I am going to convert some future posts from "gray scale" to sepia. The above Trenton Public Library photo from the March 11, 1934 Trenton Times has been "de-screened," enhanced and turned into sepia, giving a beautiful example of a typical early 19th century hand drawn fire vehicle.
