EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by R Prorokov in 1894, showcases the Irkutsk police fire brigade during its formative years. The image is part of a collection of photographs and documents from the private archive of Sergei Mikhailovich Chashchin, offering a unique glimpse into the establishment of a firefighting service in eastern Siberia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The scene depicts a horse-drawn fire engine, led by a team of determined firefighters, making its way through the streets of Irkutsk, Russia. The horses, with their powerful muscles straining against the harnesses, appear focused and ready for action. The firefighters, dressed in their uniforms, exude a sense of professionalism and dedication. The photograph provides a window into the past, offering insights into the early firefighting equipment and the organization of a Siberian firefighting team. It also highlights the leaders of Siberia's first firefighting service, who played a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of the community during this period. The oval-shaped image, with its black and white tones, transports us back to a time when horse-drawn vehicles were a common sight on the thoroughfares of Irkutsk. The horses, the fire engine, and the firefighters all contribute to the historic and heritage value of this photograph, making it an essential addition to any collection of Russian or firefighting history.
