THE FRONTLINE: A Look at Some of America's Historic Firehouses, Harry McClellan, 2006
Fires and firefighting has been part of our communities since modern time. The Frontline portrays firehouse design and style from the early 1800s to 1940.
The firehouse, its history, and tradition can tell stories of the neighborhood and the families that were born and raised there. The men and women that occupy these firehouses consider them a home away from home and are dedicated to community protection.
This book displays photos of over 400 firehouses from 125 cities and towns across the United States, with emphasis on the Northeast, especially Boston and New York City.
The firehouses shown range from major cities with paid departments to small volunteer organizations in rural America.
This publication offers a unique look at firefighting history and will serve as a cherished addition to any firefighting enthusiast's library.
