Empire Hook & Ladder, Carlisle, PA





These are some details from the Empire Hook & Ladder Company's old station on West Pomfret Street in Carlisle, PA. If you want more of their background, they where a featured as Old School Fire Department #1 on this very blog. This relief sculpture is up probably 30 -35 feet from street level and it shows the evolution of the fire department. From bucket brigades through horse drawn apparatus and onto motorized trucks. The details are awesome for something that is no where near where someone would be able to appreciate it. That, folks, is my job today. Here it is. Appreciate it.
