A copy of this book should be in every firehouse in NYC

This book has incredible detail and documentation of the early history of the New York City Fire Department. It was originally published in 1887 and has been republished in its exact original form. I highly recommend that every fire house should have at least one copy of this book in the office. Don: retired L10
