Vintage Fire Brigade (1965)

Billingshurst, West Sussex. Several shots of male garage attendants polishing and tinkering with old fire engines beside a petrol station. A woman rings a bell in the station and the men rush to climb onto two of the engines. They drive off through the town and into the countryside where a blazing lorry is standing by the side of a road. The men put the fire out with the hoses of the vintage engines. M/Ss of a man in an old-fashioned fireman uniform, driving a horse-drawn fire engine along the road and past the scene of the blaze. Note: head of the garage and group of enthusiasts is Paul Adorian.
