Description

For the reason that 19th century, the Hagerstown Fire Department has consisted of the following companies: First Hagerstown Hose, Antietam Fire, Independent Junior Fire, Western Enterprise Fire, Pioneer Hook & Ladder, and, since 1950, South Hagerstown Fire. In about 1895, the Hagerstown Fire Department started the transition from an all-volunteer force to a combination volunteer/career force. This second choice of historic firefighting images is a chronology of the Hagerstown Fire Department from 1791 to 2005. Right through that period, there were significant advances in firefighting equipment, technology, and firefighting training. In this volume, more than 200 images capture the firefighters and fire apparatus in action at fires and also the day-to-day activities defining each and every era. Whether they were the usage of buckets, hand- or horse-pulled apparatus, or half-million dollar motorized equipment, the firefighters of Hagerstown have at all times faced challenges with courage. The images in this volume bring to life the women and men who sacrificed such a lot.
