Fire Chief Irwin\u2019s team practiced on upper Harrison Avenue, near the fire station, and last night, for the first time, made the full run of 750 feet, and in encouraging time, too. They will repeat the performance every evening until the Fourth. Madigan\u2019s speed merchants again attracted the attention of a large crowd of enthusiasts by their work between Sixth and Third streets on the avenue. Their admirers are predicting that they will be a factor in the division of the prizes on the big day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">This image shows an Aspen Hose Team about to begin a race in Leadville on July 4, 1907.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Shirttail\"><em>This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/magazines\/aspen-times-weekly\/aspen-history-fire-crews-get-ready-for-1907-parade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One b\/w photograph of the Aspen Hose Team in Leadville on July 4, 1907.
