Synopsis
Firefighting in mountainous Allegany County has evolved from bucket brigades and hose reels to a paid fire department in the county seat of Cumberland and 23 modern volunteer fire departments. Highlighted in Firefighting in Allegany County is the Cumberland Fire Department, which formed in 1906 as the second paid fire department in Maryland. The oldest all-volunteer department, Frostburg, is also given extensive coverage as well as the volunteer fire companies in the coal-mining region of Georges Creek. The more rural area of eastern Allegany County and suburban Cumberland have been protected by volunteer fire companies since the 1930s and 1940s., Firefighting in mountainous Allegany County has evolved from bucket brigades and hose reels to a paid fire department in the county seat of Cumberland and 23 modern volunteer fire departments.

The more rural area of eastern Allegany County and suburban Cumberland have been protected by volunteer fire companies since the 1930s and 1940s. Featuring more than 200 images of fires, fire apparatus, and fire stations, this volume showcases the author's collection and the archives of the Cumberland Fire Department, the Allegany County Museum, and the Frostburg Museum. Author Warren W. Jenkins, a longtime resident of Allegany County, has been collecting local fire service photographs for more than 20 years. In 2004, he co-authored Arcadia's Firefighting in Frederick. Jenkins is a member of several historical societies and museums, including the Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus in America. Book jacket.
