In 1836, Henry Graticap, a foreman in the New York fire department, designed the Graticap leather fire helmet which provided significant protection from falling debris. The most important innovation of the time was the riveted leather hose, developed by two members of the Philadelphia Hose Company One. The hose was a vastly superior to it's predecessors and allowed firefighters to draft plenty of water from large, nearby sources, such as rivers stock tanks and cisterns. Early fire hydrants arrived. With volunteer departments in larger cities becoming more active, metropolitan areas transitioned to entirely paid departments, improving political control, criminal screening and technical training of crews. Cincinnati organized the nation's first paid department in 1853. Providence and Boston soon followed.” The bottom features iconic images, important inventions, and development in American fire fighter history.
