"The fire engine was presented to the Cincinnati Fire Department on January 1, 1853, making Cincinnati the first city in the world to use steam fire engines. This first engine was named "Uncle Joe Ross" after a city council member. In 1854, Cincinnati residents raised enough funds to allow the Fire department to purchase a second steam fire engine. This engine was known as "Citizen's Gift.""

"The first successful steam fire engine was invented by Moses Latta of Cincinnati and constructed by his brothers, proprietors of a machine shop in that city. Latta started work on the new engine in March 1852. Its first trial took place on New Year's Day, 1853. It was a success and went into commission on that day."

(September 2012), Journal of Kentucky Studies – Alexander Bonner “Moses” Latta, Nineteenth-Century Inventor and Entrepreneur, vol 29: Northern Kentucky University, p. 142, "Latta did not give up entirely his interest in building a locomotive. He held several patents for improvements including an automatic lubricator for axles and an improved wheel for steam carriages, as well as a metallic chimney to replace the glass chimney in oil lamps. In 1856, he designed a coal-burning locomotive that proved to be a total failure. Undeterred, he issued a catalog in 1857 listing improvements, but there is no evidence that a machine was ever produced. He made one last try—building a small steam locomotive, called a dummy, to be used on the new Cincinnati street railway. It was a mechanical success, but the Cincinnati Gazette of March 28, 1860, wrote that it frightened the horses so badly that it was deemed unsatisfactory for public use."
