EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1925, showcases a Berlin fireman proudly wearing the most advanced firefighting outfit of the Edwardian era. The innovative ensemble includes a complete set of waterproof overalls and gloves, designed to protect the fireman from the harsh elements and the intense heat of the blaze. Around his waist, a lifebelt is secured, serving a dual purpose: providing buoyancy in water and distributing the weight of the equipment evenly. Atop his head sits a modern helmet, a crucial component of the outfit, shielding him from falling debris and the scorching heat. The most striking feature of this fireman's uniform is the helmet, from which water is sprayed in a circular motion. When used in a burning building, this ingenious addition would significantly enhance the fireman's protection by creating a protective barrier against the flames and the suffocating smoke. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the evolution of firefighting equipment, showcasing the dedication and innovation of the Berlin fire brigade in ensuring the safety of their personnel during demonstrations and actual firefighting situations.
