EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Fire Chief A.F. Domishkevich in a warm and festive setting, surrounded by six companions during a holiday celebration in the early 20th century. The image, from the private archive of Sergei Nikolaevich Chashchin, provides a rare glimpse into the personal life of a man who played a pivotal role in the establishment of firefighting services in eastern Siberia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Firefighting in Siberia was a daunting challenge due to the harsh climate and vast expanses. Domishkevich was a pioneer in organizing a dedicated team to combat fires in Irkutsk, Russia. The photograph reveals Domishkevich in civilian attire, dressed in a smart suit and tie, contrasting with the formal dresses and elegant suits worn by the women and men seated around the table. The table is elegantly set, with fine china, crystal glasses, and silverware. The room's interior is adorned with ornate furniture, suggesting a sense of comfort and prosperity. The group's jovial expressions and relaxed body language indicate a shared camaraderie and appreciation for the holiday spirit. This photograph offers a unique insight into the lives of early firefighting personnel in Siberia, a region that has long been associated with the spirit of exploration and the meeting of frontiers. The image also highlights the importance of community and the role of firefighting services in bringing people together during times of celebration.
