New Fire Float (1969)

No titles. Bristol. Various shots of Bristol fire brigade’s new fire-float, the Aquanaut, being demonstrated at Avonmouth. It has been specially designed by the fire brigade to deal with emergencies in Bristol docks. The firemen on board connect their hoses, turn them on and enormous jets of water come shooting out.
