hand-powered fire pump/engine
El uso de "sangre" se me hace similar a "tracción a sangre", es decir, que el funcionamiento se logra mediante la acción física de un ser vivo. Las referencias que incluyo también usan "horse-drawn" que curiosamente es la traducción de "con tracción a sangre".

Horse-drawn power pump
"Tracción de sangre" means "by animal (might be oxen as well, but I doubt it in this case: The pump would arrive just in time to cool the ashes) traction.

In 1951 we had electricity. At least I did. I read the askers comment and I know we are talking about the 1800s.
