Too Slick

Too Slick (died December 10, 1905) was a workhorse who pulled trucks for the Birmingham Fire Department.

Too Slick was being exercised in front of the Birmingham Fire Station No. 1 at City Hall when a fire alarm call was received. In making a sudden turn back to the station, he slipped on the bitumened road surface, fell, and struck his head. He died within a few minutes. Chief Will Walton stated that Too Slick had been considered one of the department's best drilled and most faithful animals.
