ca. 1909. In 1909 Engine Co. No. 4 were still in their old quarters in the 400 block of E. 26th St. A new two-story brick building would be constructed at 220-24 E. 26th in 1911. Seven firemen are pictured in this sepia photograph; pump drivers at that time were M.E. Shaver and Dick Brown. In 1910 Engine Co. No. 4 would receive a 2nd class American LaFrance Metropolitan steam fire engine . The dog in the photograph is believed to be Jumbo, the station mascot. He was a combination Mastiff-Newfoundland and an integral part of the station. Jumbo dashed alongside the apparatus at the first tap of the alarm bell and used his powerful jaws to drag hose. Thick smoke and flames did not deter him; he worked side-by-side with his fellow firefighters. When he died at a ripe old age, taps was played at his funeral; two special honor taps were struck for him. Jumbo was buried in a secluded spot near the firehouse.
