Participatin g vehicles will include 19th-century suction fire engines and hose reel ca rriages. Suction engines\, invented in the early 19th century\, drew water from wells\, hydrants\, and other sources through a hose\, and provided a powerful and constant stream of water. The first hoses were typically mad e in 50-foot lengths\, and only a few pieces could be carried on the fire engine itself\, so additional vehicles were created specifically to carry extra lengths of hose. \n\nFire was a constant danger in a town of most ly wooden buildings\, where open flames provided heat\, light\, and cookin g. The Friendship\, Sun\, Relief\, Hydraulion\, and Star volunteer fire c ompanies served the community faithfully\, particularly during enormous bl azes in 1827\, 1855\, and 1871. \n\nFriendship Firehouse Museum's historic firefighting vehicles includes the Prettyman Hose Reel Carriage\, built i n Alexandria in 1858 by coachmaker\, and Friendship Fire Company member\, Robert Prettyman. It was ornately decorated and fitted with two large bell s to sound the alarm as the vehicle bounced through Alexandria's streets. Thanks to fundraising efforts led by the Friendship Veterans Fire Engine A ssociation\, the Prettyman hose carriage recently underwent much needed co nservation\, returning to Friendship Firehouse in 2022. \n\nOver 15 addit ional hose reel carriages and suction engines from throughout the region w ill be on display outside of the Friendship Firehouse Museum on the 100 bl ock of South Alfred Street. Friendship & Firefighting in Alexandria is spo nsored by the Friendship Veterans Fire Engine Association and the Office o f Historic Alexandria. Admission is free.\n\n\nLocation: Friendship Fireho use Museum\, 107 S.
