Los Angeles Fire Department Historical Archive

Los Angeles Fire Department Historical Archive

This incredibly comprehensive archive of LAFD ephemera and memorabilia is as good a history of 19th and 20th century firefighting as can be found on the web. Collectors will appreciate the amazing collection of old photographs and database (with photos) of vintage firefighting equipment. Key sections include the volunteer era (1871-1885), the horse-drawn era, fire stations, fire apparatus, and fire boats.
