Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first century comes to pass on the Yakima Fire Department, it is with great honor and duty to record its history. A history of many "firsts", that hard work, dedication, and constant support from the good people of Yakima, has made this department second to none. Today, in the year 2005, we have great technology advances, like powerful diesel trucks, computers, radios, electronics that allow us to search through smoke and darkness. Those men that began this department in 1905 could not have imagined such futuristic equipment, no more than we can imagine what this department will be like 100 years from today.

Download or read book Seattle Fire Department written by Richard Schneider and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-31 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 6, 1889, 25 city blocks of the city of Seattle and every mill, wharf, and warehouse from Union to Jackson Streets were consumed in a firestorm that started when a glue pot tipped over. Both of the Seattle firehouses burned in the devastating inferno, and the result was the end of the volunteer fire department and the formation of the Seattle Fire Department. Seattle got its first fireboat in 1891, at a little fire station at the foot of Madison Street and Alaskan Way, and the department depended on horse-drawn equipment until 1924, when the last horse was retired. Boasting the oldest continuously operating medic unit in America, todays Seattle Fire Department is a proud organization with 34 fire stations and more than 1,000 uniformed personnel.

Download or read book Springfield Firefighting written by Bert D. Johanson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007-05-30 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the Springfield Fire Department dates back to 1792 when the first hand pumper, Lion, was purchased. On January 24, 1794, a fire club with 50 members, all prominent citizens of the city, was organized. Fire districts were established in 1830 by an act passed by the Massachusetts legislature. By 1833, Springfield officially organized a fire department, and like the fire club, the new volunteer department consisted of prominent members of the community. The fire department changed from volunteer to paid in 1872. The volunteers then formed the Springfield Veteran Firemans Association. After 1872, the department made great strides, especially in the area of apparatus. In 1906, Springfield entered the motorized age with the introduction of a Knox squad truck, and by 1916, Springfield became the first fullymotorized fire department in the United States.
Download or read book Up from the Ashes written by Harrold Shell and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a new recruit firefighter ("booter") in 1977, I saw there was no record being kept by the department, or anyone else, of the department's history. Any chance I got, I would gather the information for the intention of recording it someday. For four years (starting in 1980), a graduate class at a major university was assigned their final project of the year to evaluate all of the big city fire department in the United States to see which was the "best." They had the criteria of fastest overall response times on calls, firefighters per thousand population, station coverage, specialized teams, number of annual calls for fire and Emergency Medical, and many other points. The Phoenix Fire Department won all four years so that project was shelved. But the Phoenix Fire Department was not always the best. This book is the most accurate account of the history of the Phoenix Fire Department. Phoenix was named after the mythical bird that rose "Up From The Ashes" after being destroyed by fire. The reason for that name was not a fluke. It was because the town denied the need for a fire department, like many towns and cities in the 1800s. It took twenty years of researching through microfiche files of newspapers, city records, State of Arizona and Maricopa County records, departmental annual records, fire department log books, stories from the oldest veterans still alive and their relatives. My files took up an entire corner of our home dining room. I was told by my wife I had to find somewhere to store this stuff. I met with the Fire Chief at that time (Alan Brunacini), and he hear about what I was doing so he appointed me the department historian, and gave me a small closet to store the information. That was the start of this book. A book just about a city fire department can be really boring, unless you are in the fire service, or a relative to someone in it. I wanted to put a more human and humorous side to the book with real incidents that never made
