Collision car repair Peninsula - How fireman had to risk their lives driving in 1926 New York - Chilton Autobody San Carlos



On April 24, 1926, the New York Fire Department took a film camera along for a 20-minute ride as a fire chief made his way to a call — including mounting the camera so that it gave the view from the driver's seat. The resulting silent film has been bouncing around a while, but this version dubbing it "the world's oldest dash cam" gives a sense of how difficult city streets were to navigate in that era — especially when congestion from streetcars, horse-drawn carriages and kamikaze pedestrians forces the fire crew to pull a "Police Squad." Watch out for the guy who couldn't hear a fire bell if it was ringing right behind him.
