EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Russian photographer R Prorokov in 1894, showcases the Irkutsk police fire brigade's convoy of the second division. The image transports us back in time to the late 19th century in eastern Siberia, where the establishment of a firefighting service was a crucial development. The convoy, consisting of horse-drawn fire engines and firemen, is depicted on a thoroughfare, surrounded by buildings and houses. The horses, harnessed to the vehicles, appear alert and ready for action. Firefighting equipment, essential for extinguishing fires, is visible on the fire engines. This photograph is part of a collection of photographs and documents from the private archive of Sergei Mikhailovich Chashchin. The collection offers valuable insights into the early days of firefighting in Siberia, including details about the organization of a Siberian firefighting team and the leaders of Siberia's first firefighting service. The image, with its historic charm and concept of meeting frontiers, is a testament to the important role that firefighters played in protecting communities from the destructive power of fire. The photograph, with its horses, fire engines, and firemen, is a reminder of the past and the evolution of emergency services over time.
