The first fire engine in Colonial North America was purchased in 1653 by the city of New Amsterdam, now known as New York City. This early fire engine was a hand-pumped apparatus, which marked the beginning of organized firefighting efforts in the colonies. The establishment of such equipment highlighted the growing concern for fire safety in urban areas during that period.
