Today is Firehouse Pole Day

In 1878, the city of New York installed the first firehouse pole. Firefighters at Engine Company 21 in Chicago, Illinois, were unloading hay for the horses that pulled their fire engines. When the bell rang, firefighter George Reid was up in the hayloft on the third floor. Rather than run all the way down, Reid decided to slide down the pole that was used to secure the hay to the wagon.

I must be partially schizophrenic, partially drunk or partially high because I can see rhe concave face as convex when it gets near the end of its spin. See the video here. My favorite bench Monday picture. Fun stuff!
