Shown here is the fire department's horse-drawn, steam-powered fire engine returning from a fire, steam billowing from the boiler. The boiler produced steam which operated a suction-type engine that pumped water from any available water source. A clue to the location of this photograph is the name Pabst Milwaukee which appears on a building in the background. According to the 1912 Cleveland city directory, the Pabst Brewing Company had a Cleveland branch at the corner of East 38th Street and St. Clair Avenue. A streetcar follows behind the fire engine.</div>
