1949ref. 142756New York: City of New York 1949/50. 799 pp. Quarto. Bound ledger in bound in original black cloth covered boards. Quite worn and soiled but generally very good in the interior. It would appear Engine Company No. 75 is in the Bronx. It would appear this is the ledger where details of events the Fire Dept. attended were recorded. The records are detailed and provide how signals were received and down to how much water was used. A very interesting record just after the war in the history of the New City Fire Department. Amazing this record showed up in Canada. 1949 City of New York hardcover

1877ref. 35307Philadelphia: Published by Wm. Smith. Looking Glass Portrait & Picture Frames of every description 1877. Folio broadside 14" x 17". Printed in three columns: the first an 'Address of Hon. R.T. Conrad'; second 'Fireman's Address. Written at the request of the Association for the Relief of Disabled Firemen' by 'Hon. Robert T. Conrad'; third 'Address of Philip S. White Esq.' Very Good. The ceremony seeks to make amends for Philadelphia's long history of antipathy to Irish Catholics. Conrad had been elected Mayor of Philadelphia on a Know-Nothing platform that capitalized on anti-Irish sentiment. But he says here "Whatever prejudices may have existed in regard to fireman sic have disappeared before the favorable evidence of the past and present conduct and character." Also a poet and writer Conrad composed a poem for the occasion printed in the second column. Praising the Company in column three was a leading temperance advocate Philip S. White. The Hibernia Company was responsible for an area of great "importance": "all the Exchange Post Office and Custom House brokers-- all the printing offices-- all the newspapers of the city. all the steamboat landings-- all the banks save two and nearly all the insurance offices."

1948ref. 232471948. Seattle freight yard fire photo archive documenting the destruction and emergency aftermath of a rail served maritime industrial site in 1948. The photographs center a burned yard associated with the American Hawaiian Steamship Company a major intercoastal carrier that linked Pacific ports with Atlantic and Gulf Coast trade and maintained a substantial presence on Seattle's waterfront during the first half of the twentieth century. Rather than isolating a single ruined structure the group shows the working system around it: street access fire response rail lines lumber storage cargo handling space and the industrial buildings that tied Seattle's urban growth to port commerce. Photo archive of 6 black and white photographs each 3" x 4.5" Seattle Washington studio stamp en verso dated December 4 1948. The images show a broad debris field of charred timbers collapsed framing burned posts pooled water and smoke rising across a freight yard crossed by railroad tracks. Two views prominently include the sign for American Hawaiian S.S. Co. while another visible sign reads Keystone Steel & Wire Company placing the site within Seattle's maritime industrial district. One street view shows fire hoses snaking across wet pavement toward the still smoking yard and another frames a group of men in long overcoats and hats standing at the edge of the destruction surveying the scene. Utility poles warehouse buildings sidings stacked material and the hillside cityscape beyond the yard anchor the fire within a dense industrial section of Seattle shaped by port traffic and rail distribution. Seattle's maritime industry shaped the city from its earliest waterfront settlement into a major Pacific port where rail lines piers warehouses and steamship companies made Elliott Bay the engine of urban growth and commercial expansion. Minor edgewear and curling. Overall very good condition. These photographs preserve a short concentrated record of emergency aftermath on a working Pacific Coast waterfront at the start of the postwar shipping era when Seattle remained a major junction of rail and ocean transport and steamship firms still occupied prominent waterfront facilities. unknown

1946ref. 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

1715ref. 21193London 1715. Broadside. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Some foxing. A rare leaflet lobbying Parliament on behalf of British merchants who had recently lost £22500 worth of sugar ginger oil and sasparilla in a great fire. The merchants had just recently imported the goods paying approximately £3000 in customs. In the present document the merchants petition the House of Commons to allow them to import goods duty-free up to the value of the customs of the goods destroyed. This is among the earliest examples of commercial lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715. ESTC lists three copies: at the University of London Oxford and Harvard. Goldsmiths 5228.1; Hanson 2169. unknown
