History:

In the 19th century, horse-drawn fire engines became a familiar sight in towns and cities, carrying water pumps, ladders, and crews to the scene of fires. Pulled by strong horses and manned by teams of firefighters, these vehicles greatly improved response times compared to hand-drawn equipment. Many were steam-powered, using onboard boilers to generate pressure for water pumps. They symbolised a significant advancement in urban safety and firefighting technology. The Matchcraft Fire Engine Horse Drawn Matchstick Kit pays tribute to this important innovation, allowing modellers to recreate a piece of firefighting history while engaging with the traditional craft of matchstick modelling.
