From the 3 Stooges "COPS AND ROBBERS" DVD

Flat Foot Stooges (1938):
A crooked fire truck salesman finds himself in hot water when he sabotages one of Fire Chief Kelly's trucks. While Larry, Moe and Curly pamper Chief Kelly's fire truck pulling horses, a blaze engulfs the firehouse and puts the firefighting Stooges to the ultimate test.

One more Stooges show from "NUTTY BUT NICE"

False Alarms (1936)
The Three Stooges make a date with disaster when they try to keep up with their social affairs while working for the fire department. Larry and Moe are determined to resist temptation, but when Curly needs dates for his honey's friends, everyone gets hosed.

sad thing to ruin 3 crowns.

Also Hulu has emergency and McHales Navy episodes up and you can watch them for free.

"She Loved a Fireman" 1937. Hokey movie but plenty of scenes of LAFD rigs of the era including ALF 400 Series as well as Fireboat #2 as well as fire clips of FDNY fireboat Harvey.

Two more oldies:

San Francisco (1936) I believe has rigs responding to the earthquake and fires.

In Old Chicago (1937) has rigs responding to the Great Fire; also I believe scenes of telegraph office when alarm is turned in.

I think both show horse drawn tiller trucks.

Trial By Fire aka Smoke Jumper is a movie about a female FF that becomes a Smoke Jumper from 2008. Shows some older rigs when she is a FF. Kinda cheesy movie but it's still a fire fighter movie.

There were several episodes of "Leave It To Beaver" where Beaver, whenever he was
experiencing adolescent angst, would visit the local firehouse. There Gus, the old fireman,
would dispense pearls of wisdom that solved all of Beav's problems. Gus was a 1950's
fireman straight out of Central Casting; he always was leaning back in an old chair and
wearing his bell cap.

Don't forget "The Simpsons". The Springfield Volunteer Fire Department is led into
battle by Chief Apu; all the town characters belong to the department. Of course,
there is also the never ending Springfield tire pile fire.

A fashion show a friend of mine was watching recently, I think what to wear or something like that, I walked in where she was watching it, the two hosts were walking up to a large crowd and in the background one of FDNY's rescues was parked on the curb. It wasn't close enough to tell which one it was, but it was an E-One/Saulsbury.
