History
Firefighters of the early 20th century served during a period of major transition in firefighting technology and urban development. Departments evolved from horse-drawn apparatus to motorized fire engines, while firefighters continued to rely on heavy protective coats, leather boots, and distinctive helmets designed to shield them from heat, debris, and falling water. The iconic fire helmets of this era became enduring symbols of courage and public service, instantly recognizable in cities and towns across America. These firefighters played a critical role in protecting rapidly growing communities during a time when dense wooden structures, factories, and coal heating systems greatly increased the risk of urban fires.
