This darling fire engine was 'born' in 1916 and can still function, albeit rather more slowly than it used to.

Shortly after 5:30 PM Saturday evening, Santa Barbara County Fire responded to reports of multiple people trapped on the beach. Upon arrival the first engine found 3 victims, 2 female and 1 male, trapped on the beach by rising tide and surf. Unable to make it back to the stairwell, the fire department opted for a rope rescue. A hole was cut in a fence and two rescue personnel rappelled approximately 75ft down to rescue the victims. The rescue took over an hour as the surf continued to slam against victims and rescuers. Three engines, a truck and a water rescue team responded to the scene. All three victims sustained only minor injuries.
