EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the late 1890s, members of the Irkutsk police fire brigade are seen engaged in a training exercise. The scene takes place outside, with a building exterior serving as the backdrop. The firefighters are dressed in their uniforms, each carrying essential equipment for rescue operations. One firefighter holds a rescue sheet, while another man is seen lowering a rescue basket from a ladder, ready to receive a person in need. This photograph is part of a collection of rare images and documents from the private archive of Sergei Mikhailovich Chashchin, providing valuable insights into the establishment of a firefighting service in eastern Siberia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The collection includes materials about early firefighting equipment, the organization of a Siberian firefighting team, and the leaders of Siberia's first firefighting service. The Irkutsk police fire brigade, established in the late 1800s, was a crucial part of the city's emergency services. The firefighters were responsible for responding to fires, saving lives, and preventing further damage to property. Their training was essential to ensuring they were prepared for any situation they might encounter. This photograph, taken by R Prorokov, captures a moment in history when the men of the Irkutsk police fire brigade were practicing their skills and preparing for the challenges that lay ahead. The image is a testament to the bravery and dedication of these early firefighters and the vital role they played in the community. The meeting of frontiers between the old and the new, as seen in this photograph, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of emergency services in Russia and Siberia.
