Description

On June 6, 1889, 25 city blocks of the city of Seattle and each mill, wharf, and warehouse from Union to Jackson Streets were consumed in a firestorm that began when a glue pot tipped over. Either one of the Seattle firehouses burned in the devastating inferno, and the result was once the end of the volunteer fire department and the formation of the Seattle Fire Department. Seattle got its first fireboat in 1891, at just a little fire station on the foot of Madison Street and Alaskan Way, and the department depended on horse-drawn equipment until 1924, when the last horse was once retired. Boasting the oldest frequently operating medic unit in The us, nowadays’s Seattle Fire Department is a proud organization with 34 fire stations and more than 1,000 uniformed team of workers.
