EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, created by Russian photographer R Prorokov in 1894, showcases the Irkutsk Voluntary Fire Society, an essential precursor to modern emergency services in eastern Siberia during the late 19th century. The image features several prominent members of the society, including Zeichmester (draftsman) A.I. Andreev, P.N. Verkhovinsky (a member of the council), D.A. Benkogenov (head of the Society's hunters), I.F. Istsenov (chairman), L.S. Zisman (doctor), and Irkutsk fire chief P.M. Myakinin. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the era, with the men dressed in their firefighting apparel. Andreev, with his bushy beard, wears a protective casque and carries a drafting instrument, while Verkhovinsky dons a formal suit and glasses. Benkogenov, seated in the front row, sports a hunter's cap and a fur-trimmed coat. Istsenov, Istsenov, and Zisman are dressed in simple, practical attire, while Myakinin, the fire chief, wears a firefighter helmet and a heavy, padded coat. The photograph also reveals the society's banner, which bears the Russian coat of arms and the inscription "Irkutsk Voluntary Fire Society." This collection of photographs and documents, part of the private archive of Sergei Mikhailovich Chashchin, offers valuable insights into the early history of firefighting in Siberia, including the organization of a Siberian firefighting team and the development of early firefighting equipment. The image serves as a testament to the dedication and courage of these pioneering firefighters, who risked their lives to protect their community from the destructive power of fire.
