The old geezer in charge of the local fire department leads the old horse out to pasture. They've got a fire engine now, and "the old grey mare, she ain't what she used to be." But when that alarm bell starts ringing, who's going to be first to the fire?
This story was replicated many time, live action and cartoon, since the old days when every city had its own version of the the local fire brigade rushing to the conflagration, a pair of strong horses pulling the boiler. The way the old fireman is drawn makes me think his face is modeled on someone in particular.
