EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned Russian photographer N. A. Lavrov in 1901, showcases Fire Chief A.F. Domishkevich and his wife in their winter firefighting uniforms. The image is a testament to the early days of firefighting in eastern Siberia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Domishkevich, a prominent figure in Siberian history, played a pivotal role in establishing the region's first firefighting service. At the time, firefighting equipment was rudimentary, consisting of buckets, ladders, and simple hoses. Despite these challenges, Domishkevich and his team were dedicated to protecting their community from the destructive power of fire. The photograph captures the couple in their winter uniforms, which include heavy fur coats, hats, and trim. The use of fur was essential for insulation against the harsh Siberian climate. Domishkevich wears a double-breasted coat with brass buttons and a fur hat adorned with a badge, signifying his position as a fire chief. His wife, dressed in a long fur coat and a hat with a veil, stands beside him, offering her support and solidarity. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication required of early firefighters and their families. It also highlights the rich heritage of firefighting in Siberia and the important role it played in the region's history. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's collection, offering a glimpse into the past and the people who shaped it.
