It’s Fire Prevention Week (October 9-16). Imagine the equipment that fire crews 100 years ago would have had to work with to fight blazes. In this undated photo, the Huntsville Fire Brigade poses with their horse team. Can you take a guess at the date? Do you know where they are? (Photo courtesy of Muskoka Digital Archives.)

Here’s what a few of you said:
On Facebook, Jamie Lane-Baker said “looks like the property where Royal Tire is and Rolston’s.” Henk Rietveld concurred, adding “In the west end, old Beaver Lumber property.”
Michael Cooke saw this location almost daily as a child: “The Arrowhead Motors parking lot is to the left of the sign, Ideal Algonquin (later on Algonquin Automotive and Hidden Hitch) is the low roofed building to the left of the farm house. The flat roofed building to the right of the farm house is the old CKAR radio station. I used to catch my school bus about 200ft behind and to the left of the photographer.” Thanks for filling in those details, Michael!
