This is "A Captain And The Kids" cartoon shown with the Marx Brothers film 'A Day At The Races" DVD.
Old Smokey is a firehouse horse who is being put out to pasture, replaced by an engine (remember, this is the mid '30s). Suddenly, there is a fire and Mama calls the Captain (who is only one at the fire house?). He jumps in the sleek new machine and no idea how to control it. Mama is out on the flagpole as the house is being engulfed in flames. The captain winds up several hundred feet in the air on top of a ladder. He's stranded, too.
The end is predictable as Old Smokey smells the smoke, gets excited, races to the scene and saves the day...and his job. In all, a primitive only slightly-amusing cartoon.
