Vintage Fire Equipment

Fire Hose Clamp


This is an old clamp, holder from an fire station. Pretty cool how much history comes from something as simple as a used clamp. It's vintage, old and made of metal.

Fire Hose Nozzle


This is an awesome vintage nozzle patented from 1918! It is crazy how equipment can survive so much hardship. I guess that's because used or new, all fire equipment is built for reliability. These old  nozzles were placed at the back of the truck, ready for speedy use. They also had other nozzles placed at the front or side of the truck to help with the pump.

Hand Drawn Fire Hose reel


This is an awesome 1918 hand drawn Fire Hose reel used to carry! Pretty neat huh? Those horses could carry some heavy equipment and haul it pretty efficiently. 

Vintage Fire Hose Shut Off Valve


This is a vintage duel shut off made of brass! It has two handles and two outlets. Every one using a fire hose should make sure they have a shut off valve. 

Fire Hose Wrench

Check out this awesome wrench. It's old solid brass and is a folding Rocker Lug Coupling wrench (made by Akron Brass). This is primarily used to couple and uncoupled sections of hose

Fire Hose Coupling


This is an awesome Fire Hose coupling from 1950. It is used to connect one end to either another hose or a hose appliance. 


Added bonus: This is an awesome 1959 Fire Extinguisher made by Wilbur. This is in pretty good condition considering it hasn't been inspected since 1959.

  • I am a member of the Williamson County Fire Museum located in Round Rock Texas. We recently had a department donate a Waterous No. 0 Hose Reel Cart. I am now looking for information about this style Hose Cart so that we may restore it to as near factory condition as possible. Do you have or know were we might obtain information? I have already been in contact with Waterous.
