EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1894, members of Irkutsk Voluntary Fire Society's community squad and police team proudly stand before a grand building, showcasing their readiness to face any emergency. The image, taken by Russian photographer R Prorokov, offers a glimpse into the establishment of a firefighting service in eastern Siberia during the late 19th century. The team, led by Sergei Mikhailovich Chashchin, is dressed in their uniforms, with the firefighters donning protective gear and the policemen wearing their standard issue attire. The firefighters' uniforms feature distinctive helmets, coats, and trousers, while the policemen's outfits consist of dark jackets, white shirts, and black ties. The photograph was taken outside, with a canopy providing some shelter from the elements. The team members gaze directly at the camera, exuding a sense of confidence and determination. Their uniforms, a mix of vintage and contemporary designs, add to the historic charm of the image. This photograph is an essential piece of Siberian history, offering insights into the early days of firefighting services in the region. It also highlights the important role that community involvement and collaboration between emergency services played in ensuring public safety during this era. The image is a testament to the courage and dedication of these early firefighters and policemen, who put their lives on the line to protect their community.
