The evolution of the San Francisco Fire Department is traced from its volunteer origins in 1849 to its professional establishment in 1866. Set against the backdrop of the Great Fire of 1906 and other significant blazes, the narrative highlights the challenges faced by early firefighters in a rapidly growing city. Historic photographs, many previously unpublished, showcase key moments and figures, including the notable Lily Hitchcock Coit, who contributed to the fire service and inspired the creation of Coit Tower.
