EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1908, depicts members of the voluntary fire society near their fire station on Arsenalnaya Street in Irkutsk, Siberia. The image offers a glimpse into the early history of firefighting services in eastern Siberia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The firefighters are seen lined up in front of their building, dressed in their protective uniforms. Each man wears a heavy, helmeted casque, designed to shield them from the intense heat and smoke during fires. The firefighting equipment, including hoses and ladders, can be seen in the background. The establishment of a firefighting service in Siberia was crucial due to the region's vast expanses and the frequent occurrence of fires, particularly in urban areas. The voluntary fire society, as depicted in this photograph, was a crucial part of this early firefighting infrastructure. Sergei Mikhailovich Chashchin, a prominent figure in Siberian history, is known to have been involved in the organization of Siberia's first firefighting service. However, the identity of the photographer and the exact circumstances surrounding this photograph remain unknown. This image is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who risked their lives to protect their communities from the destructive power of fire. It also serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history of firefighting services in Siberia and Russia as a whole.
