VIDEO - An 80-year-old movie clip has surfaced on the internet, and an old Minneapolis firefighter is getting well-deserved recognition online. Mickey the Minneapolis Fire Cat used to live in the city’s Fire Station 10, where he loved to watch his fellow firefighters play dominoes when not rushing out to calls. Like all able firefighters in the 1930s, the station’s mascot could deftly slide down the brass pole in the fire station. He also had his own little firefighting helmet.
