Examination of local history sources of firefighters

Abstract

The history of the Hungarian fire brigades goes back to 150 years. Browsing through our local history of firefighters, we can find numerous civil defence and voluntary fire brigade sources, which scientific research is still awaiting. As a private collector, I’m doing research primary on the suburbs of Budapest and within my narrower environment. In this article, I will present a study of the origins of an old photograph in the firefighting practice of that era.
