EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a prayer service held on July 8, 1894, during the first annual celebration of the Irkutsk Voluntary Fire Society. The image, taken by Russian photographer R Prorokov, showcases a large crowd of men gathered outside, under the shade of an oval-shaped canopy, in front of a grand building. Dressed in their firefighting uniforms, the men bow their heads in prayer, demonstrating their deep commitment to their profession and their community. The Irkutsk Voluntary Fire Society was a pioneering organization established in eastern Siberia during the late 19th century. The collection of photographs and documents from the private archive of Sergei Mikhailovich Chashchin provides valuable insights into the early days of firefighting in Siberia. It includes information on the acquisition of firefighting equipment, the organization of a Siberian firefighting team, and the influential leaders of the region's first firefighting service. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important role that firefighters played in Russian society during this period, both as protectors of life and property and as community leaders. The men in the image, with their determined expressions and unified stance, embody the spirit of dedication and camaraderie that characterized the Irkutsk Voluntary Fire Society.
