A fire department in any community, large or small,
commands citizen respect. When fire sirens blare, traffic obediently
tries to pull over and people hold their breaths - hoping it's
not their house, their business, their school or anyone they
know. Fire has been a frightening scourge in history from Nero
in Rome to Chicago's Mrs. O'Leary to Ketchikan's Bill Mitchell.

man" spirit of the nineteenth century, one of the first
things responsible pioneers did was establish fire departments.
When the westward-ho movement reached the Pacific coast and the
settlement-surge angled north, fire departments were among the
very first organizations founded in Alaska. -
