EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of photographs depicts various methods of escape and rescue during a fire, both indoors and outdoors. Dating back to 1911, these images offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the fire safety measures of the early 20th century. The first photograph showcases a well-organized fire drill in progress at a factory. Workers are seen making their way down a ladder, while others help their colleagues climb to safety. The orderly fashion in which the evacuation is being carried out underscores the importance of preparedness and training during fires. Another photograph displays a fire escape ladder being lowered from a window, demonstrating the significance of having accessible escape routes in multi-story buildings. The determination and courage of the firefighters, who can be seen in the following images, are evident as they rescue the unconscious and the conscious from the perilous flames. The outdoor scenes depict the use of ladders, nets, and buckets to rescue individuals from burning buildings. The tenacity and teamwork of the rescuers are on full display as they work tirelessly to save lives. The final photograph in this series illustrates the aftermath of a fire, with firefighters tending to the injured and providing comfort to those who have been affected. These images serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of fire safety and the heroic efforts of first responders. These photographs, captured in 1911, offer a unique perspective into the fire safety measures of the Edwardian era. They not only highlight the advancements in fire safety during the early 20th century but also underscore the importance of being prepared and knowing what to do in case of a fire emergency.
