How did Dalmatians get linked to firefighting?

I was looking at my dalmatian earlier and just cannot imagine him doing anything remotely related to firefighting. Maybe its just my dalmatian but he is the laziest spotted dog I've ever met. He is a complete bed dog. So just curious if they actually preformed a purpose or were just for show.

    Dalmatian's where used by early firefighter's to keep their horse's in line back when horse drawn fire engines where being used.
