Unpublished historical images and the entire incredible story of the first Fire Truck in Petrópolis. This is the theme of this edition of MACHINES OF ALL TIMES.

The history of the Fire Department in Brazil has a close relationship with the city of Petrópolis due to Emperor Dom Pedro II. For this reason, the restoration of the city's first Fire Truck is of great importance. And now, the MACHINES OF ALL TIMES program team presents the entire history of this machine that was forgotten for a long time.

This 1927 firefighting self-pump, which is now on display at the 15th Fire Brigade of Petrópolis, was manufactured by the English company Marryweather - which for a long time was the largest supplier of fire fighting equipment in the world.

Thanks to extensive research work that included unpublished materials from the Imperial Museum of Petrópolis and the Cesar Nunes Film Collection, you will see unpublished images of this truck and learn how it arrived in Brazil, how it ended up being acquired by Petrópolis and its trajectory in the city.

In addition, you will learn in detail all the technology of this truck, which was cutting edge in its time. Including its most important equipment, Marryweather's most successful patent.

So, enough spoilers and come with us to travel through history in another one of these incredible MACHINES OF ALL TIMES.
