Stillman Fires Collection: New York Fire Dept
This film is a bunch of RKO-Pathe clips edited together and shows some spectacular fires. The rubber factory fire is the fieriest of the lot, billowing smoke everywhere.

Stillman Fires Collection: Albany St Lumber Yard
This clip includes silent film footage from the 1930s of firefighters fighting fires in various Boston locations, including the Albany St. Lumber Yard.

This is gritty, real firefighting footage, though, so if that interests you, this is a film to check out. Producer: N/A

Stillman Fires Collection: FDNY Chief Kenlon's Ride
The first 4 minutes of this film is amazing, as we see a fire chief's voyage to a fire. The camera is attached to the hood of the car, as he carouses through traffic, when that's too heavy, he goes on the SIDEWALK. Wheee!! Producer: N/A

Stillman Fires Collection: FDNY Chief Officers
This short is dominated by unnamed fire department chiefs walking up and down trying not to notice the camera. If you look beyond that, you can catch some fascinating footage of New York in the 20's, the stoops, the cars, and the fashions! You will love the flapper costume a little girl is wearing! Also, look for the movie poster for the long forgotten movie "Journey To Chinatown" made by Fox in 1926! There is another bit at the end of how a call gets to the station. Producer: N/A
