The following images were found on the Libray of Congress Web sight by Lt. Jim Lloyd of eng Co 8 DCFD. We have never seen these before. I hope you enjoy them.
Annual Report says within two hours of receiving the telegram from
Baltimore, DC units were assisting Baltimore Firemen.
31 minutes from old B & O station in DC to Camden Station in Baltimore in
1904!!!!!
Baltimore fire 1904
One of the crews. Annual report says about 100 men, 5 engines, 5 hose
apparatus & 25 horses responded to Baltimore.
Engine 3 & 6 responded first with Chief Belt.
Engines 2, 7, & 8 responded later.
(One Hundred Years of Glory says Engines 2 & 8 went second and Engine 7 went
