EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the late 1890s, a convoy of the Irkutsk police fire brigade makes its way through a snowy Russian village. The horses, harnessed to the horse-drawn fire engine, plow through the snow, their breath visible in the cold air. The firefighters, dressed in heavy coats and hats, ride alongside the vehicle, ready to respond to any emergency. This image is part of a collection of photographs and documents from the private archive of Sergei Mikhailovich Chashchin, providing 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 oval-shaped, horse-drawn fire engine in the photograph is a testament to the importance of animal transport during this era. The horses, strong and determined, pull the vehicle through the snow, demonstrating the vital role they played in emergency services during this time. The fire brigade's entrance, marked by a gateway, is a reminder of the firefighters' readiness to respond to any emergency in this rural community. This photograph, taken by R Prorokov, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and hard work of the Irkutsk police fire brigade during the late 1800s. It is a reminder of the rich heritage and history of emergency services in Russia and Siberia.
