EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts Fire Chief A.F. Domishkevich, standing proudly in his full uniform, adorned with a sabre and helmet, in Irkutsk, Siberia, in the year 1901. The image is a testament to the establishment of firefighting services in eastern Siberia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Domishkevich's attire includes a carriage boot, casque helmet, and protective clothing, all essential components of a firefighter's uniform during that era. The sabre, a traditional weapon, was carried as a symbol of authority and readiness to defend against potential threats. The organization of a Siberian firefighting team was a significant milestone in the region's history, as firefighting was an essential service to ensure the safety of communities. The team was likely modeled after the American firefighting services that had gained popularity in Russia during that time. Sergei Mikhailovich Chashchin, the private archive owner, preserves this historic image, which offers a glimpse into the early days of firefighting in Siberia. The photograph is a reminder of the courage and dedication of the men who risked their lives to protect their communities from the destructive power of fire. The image is a full-length studio portrait, capturing the essence of Domishkevich's professionalism and commitment to his occupation. The photograph's timeless quality and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the history of firefighting or the heritage of Siberia.
