The reference in the link I posted was only regarding the use of the word 'bull-gine' (hyphen used in the linked article). Steam powered pumpers for fire use weren't in use until the 1840s. I posted that link because the date was 1818, thus providing an earlier date for the use of the term bulgine/bullgine/bull-gine. Sorry about any misunderstanding. Prior to steam-powered pumpers, the water was pumped manually. To repeat, see paragraph 8 in the article I linked.
