Title
English: Seattle Fire Department employees, wagons, and engine houses, 1898
Description
English:

The creation of the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) can be traced back to July 6th, 1876, when the all-volunteer Seattle Engine Company No.1 was organized. In 1883, the City Charter was amended to create and fund equipment, but not staff, for a centralized municipal fire department. The volunteer-based system persisted until pressure from the insurance industry and citizens after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 forced the city council to reform Seattle's seven volunteer companies into a paid, professional unit of 32 men organized into five district fire stations. The photo collage pictured here includes studio portraits of Seattle's firefighters, as well as pictures of the SFD hose wagons, engine teams, firehouses, and the fire boat Snoqualmie.
