EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the private archive of Sergei Mikhailovich Chashchin, we witness a striking group portrait of the Irkutsk police fire brigade, showcasing their diverse uniforms from the late 19th century. The image captures the firefighters in three distinct uniforms: home uniform, fire-work uniform, and dress uniform. The home uniform, featuring a simple shirt and trousers, would have been worn during daily duties. The fire-work uniform, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, was likely worn during parades and public events. Lastly, the formal dress uniform, with its grandiose design and shiny metallic accents, was reserved for special occasions and formal gatherings. The Irkutsk police fire brigade, established in eastern Siberia during the 19th century, played a crucial role in protecting the community from fire hazards. This collection of photographs and documents from Chashchin's archive offers valuable insights into the early days of firefighting in Siberia, including information on the organization of the firefighting team, the acquisition of firefighting equipment, and the influential leaders of Siberia's first firefighting service. The firefighters in this photograph are seen standing side by side, some saluting and others at ease. They wear protective gear, including casques and helmets, and are equipped with fire hoses. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and professionalism of these early firefighters and their commitment to safeguarding their community. This photograph, taken by R Prorokov in 1894, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of firefighting in Russia and Siberia. The image, with its timeless composition and intriguing subject matter, continues to captivate viewers and offer valuable insights into the past.
