EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph portrays Brigade Commander Vladimir Nikolaevich Vodoleev, dressed in a firefighter's uniform, during the early 20th century. The image is part of the private archive of Sergei Nikolaevich Chashchin and offers a glimpse into the establishment of a firefighting service in eastern Siberia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At the time, firefighting equipment was rudimentary, consisting of simple tools such as buckets, ladders, and hand pumps. However, the organization of a Siberian firefighting team marked a significant step towards improving emergency response capabilities in the region. Vodoleev, a prominent figure in Siberia's firefighting history, can be seen here wearing a heavy, woolen firefighter's coat, a helmet, and a pair of leather boots. His facial hair, a well-groomed mustache, adds character to the portrait. The image was likely taken during a meeting or congressional event, showcasing the importance of firefighting as a profession. The firefighting service in Siberia was instrumental in protecting the region's growing urban centers, which were increasingly susceptible to fires due to the use of wood and other flammable materials for construction. This photograph serves as a reminder of the brave men and women who risked their lives to keep communities safe during this era. The Library of Congress, in Washington D.C., holds this historical treasure in its vast collection, a testament to the rich heritage of firefighting and the men like Vodoleev who dedicated their lives to this essential service.
