EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back in time to the bustling streets of New York City during the winter of 1835. The photograph, titled "New York Fire, 1835," depicts a group of brave firefighters attempting to tackle the massive blaze that had been raging on Wall Street for over a day. The fire, which lasted from December 16 to 17, had already consumed numerous buildings, including the renowned Fulton Fire Insurance Company. The scene is chaotic, with flames engulfing the buildings on both sides of the street. Smoke billows into the sky, obscuring the view of the upper stories. Firemen, dressed in their heavy coats and helmets, can be seen working tirelessly to extinguish the flames using long hoses and buckets. The determination and grit of these early firefighters are evident as they battle the blaze, which had already caused widespread destruction and left many in the community displaced. This historical photograph is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of New York City during a time when fires were a common and devastating occurrence. The image offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a valuable insight into the early days of firefighting in America and the courageous efforts of the United States' first organized fire departments. The photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, firefighting, or the evolution of urban life in the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of community and the unwavering spirit of those who came before us, who faced adversity and rebuilt in the face of tragedy.
