Victorian fire engine

Sound for a horse-drawn, steam-pumped, Victorian/late-1800s fire engine, constructed using various CC0 sounds from this site. Made for an audiodrama set in Victorian London. The truck approaches, sounding its mechanical siren, then stops, deploys the hose, and starts pumping water. The pump works and water sprays for the rest of the clip (this bit should be easy to loop with any sound editor if you want the spraying to last longer.) No voices, fire or other noise (IRL there would be several human operators.)

No attribution requirements, but if you do use it I'd be interested to know about it! Share and enjoy.
