The left horse carrying the fire brigade boiler paws the air, while dark smoke pours into the air from the boiler. It's shot from, oh, looks like fifty feet away, so details are a bit obscure. There are men on ladders, and the hoses seem to be pouring against the building, but the few seconds of the movie don't allow any change of state. They may be fight the fire, but you can't telling if they're winning.
I am strongly of the belief tht this is a training exercise for the brigade. Even today the Fire Department has several sites for trainees to test whether they are physically up to the job.
