Firefighting in early America was brutal, dangerous work.
Volunteer firefighters ran through streets pulling heavy hand pumpers. They climbed rickety ladders while smoke blinded them. They entered burning buildings knowing they might not emerge. Every fire was a test of courage and endurance.
There were no breathing apparatus, no modern protective gear. Just wool coats, leather buckets, and the determination to save what could be saved.
Many died. All persevered.
