Fire+Fighting+Geelong

**1849, 27th of June-** The Geelong volunteer fire brigade received their first quality fire engine. On that morning the well manufactured fire engine was delivered to the fire brigades door step. The engine was made in Sydney to the order of the Melbourne fir insurance company and was delivered to Geelong in express speed. When trying its working powers the day after it was discovered that the engine aboard the steamer had received damage to a part of the iron handle which prevented the testing. The engine is to be repaired as soon as possible at the moment the fire brigade is building a garage where the engine will stay. || ||
