Leicester. A Monster Fire-fighter

London may be burning, but Leicester is safe thanks to a swish new fire engine which took fire-fighting to new heights

What are you more scared of, heights or fire? This new fire engine in1920s Leicester has an extending ladder with an impressive reach, but pity the poor camera operator who took his profession to an even loftier position. Sandwiched between a story about a muddy cross-country race in Paris and one about boxing monkeys, you get the impression from this item that it was a slow week for the Topical Budget newsreel.
