1946réf. 234361946. Photographs documenting the emergency response to the nine-alarm fire that destroyed the St. George ferry and railway terminal on Staten Island in June 1946 recording fire apparatus a hospital ambulance crew and rescue workers amid the smoking wreckage. The fire began at 2:30 in the afternoon of June 25 1946 under a car and spread to the terminal's wooden support pilings. Nine alarms were transmitted within half an hour summoning fifty land companies and six fireboats; three civilians were killed and more than 250 firemen and 30 civilians were injured or overcome by smoke. Photo archive of 8 silver gelatin snapshot photographs approximately 5 x 3 inches Staten Island New York with the original mailing envelope inscribed in ink "Martha Staten Island Ferry Terminal burnt down June 1947." One image centers a panel-body ambulance lettered "St. Vincent's Hospital" and "Staten Island" parked beside an open rear ambulance where attendants in white tend a patient. Another shows workmen uniformed officers and helmeted firemen clustered around the rescue vehicles below the gutted upper story. Several frames show pairs of wooden and steel rapid transit cars standing scorched on the rails beneath the twisted collapsed ribs of the train shed windows blown out and roofs caved in. A trackside view captures fire engines lined nose to tail along the roadway. The nine alarms transmitted within thirty minutes the fifty land companies and the Manhattan units racing through the Holland Tunnel show standard FDNY multi-borough mutual aid working at full stretch recorded by a bystander close enough to walk the platforms. The St. George fire ranks among the worst in Staten Island history and FDNY commanders called it one of the most stubborn blazes they had faced the burning rooted deep in the terminal's wooden pilings over the water. The destroyed structure was replaced by an entirely new $21 million terminal that opened in 1951. Overall in very good condition. A direct on-the-ground record of a multi-borough emergency response to a fatal nine-alarm fire that erased a major New York transit terminal. unknown

1906réf. List821San Francisco 1906. Thirty-one silver gelatin prints measuring 4 x 3 inches with four accompanying sheets measuring 8 x 5 ½ inches identifying the images. Also included is the original envelope to an illegible recipient or possibly crediting the images. Fading to images else about fine very good minus overall. Many photographers amateur and professional alike took to the streets of San Francisco to document devastation caused by the earthquake and subsequent fire of 1906. Collected here are thirty-one images taken by one such photographer - likely an amateur based on the image quality and perspectives. What is unusual about the collection here is that the photographer took meticulous notes on each image and the images as found in a rather illegible envelope included several sheets explaining the location of each image. The photographer travelled through most of downtown with varied locations represented. The title is likely misleading as the fire raged for several days and the pictures were likely taken several days after the 18th of April. The envelope has the name "Mrs H. Thof illegible" which suggests that perhaps the photographer was a woman or possibly that these were given to the same as a gift by another photographer. Overall a scarce survival of images of which we find no other copies. unknown books

1912réf. 177181912. Fire department photo album ca 1912 a visual record of early motorized firefighting that documents the transition from horse drawn apparatus to mechanized emergency response in California. The album centers on a small town department identified by the uniform insignia "CCFD" capturing a moment when motor vehicles were beginning to replace traditional equipment even as many larger cities still relied on horse drawn engines. The presence of specialized vehicles and organized crews reflects the modernization of municipal and volunteer fire services in the early twentieth century as departments adopted new technologies to improve response speed and operational capacity. Photo album containing 42 silver gelatin photographs housed in original string bound black leather covers. Images depict firefighters posed with motorized apparatus including vehicles associated with Kissel an early automobile manufacturer known for producing service and utility vehicles. Several photographs show crews at fire scenes alongside the charred remains of structures while others document equipment group portraits and operational contexts. One loose photograph bears the caption "This Rig is used for carrying back dirty hose. The other three are useless" providing a candid comment on equipment function and intra crew perspective. Additional imagery includes a woman seated on a Kissel automobile indicating the broader presence of early motor vehicles within the community. The album documents a transitional phase in firefighting history when mechanization reshaped emergency services reducing reliance on animal power and enabling more complex logistical coordination. Departments adopting motorized equipment during this period often represented early adopters of automotive technology within their communities and their visual documentation provides insight into both technological change and local organization of public safety. The combination of posed and candid images captures both formal representation and everyday practice within a fire brigade adapting to new tools and methods. Covers show light wear with secure string binding; photographs remain clear and well preserved. Overall very good condition. unknown books
