1850's Volunteer Fireman Action Figure One of the Brave 2003 Gearbox 90852

By the mid 1800s, organized volunteer fire companies were popping up in cities and towns across America. Fire was a constant threat to this nineteenth-century society built primarily of wood and fire protection was considered an important community responsibility.

Fire engines of the era required many people to operate. They were hand-pulled to fires and hand-pumped once on the scene. Engine companies strictly pumped water. Hose and ladder companies were formed to transport other equipment to the scene and perform support activities. Fire "enjines" of the 1800s were objects of pride and devotion, often being decorated with elaborate carvings and paintings.

In many communities, fire companies and their members became very powerful social and political organizations. Great pride was taken in membership of a fire company and often rivalries developed between neighboring companies.
