Fire Prevention week was started in 1925 by President Coolidge to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. This leather fire bucket and leather fireman’s helmet from the early 19th Century. In fact, these pieces were produced BEFORE the Great Chicago Fire.

So I really love the game Hunt: Showdown! Here is an idea for that game ! You see there is often a big amount of fire all around the map. People throwing lanterns and molotov cocktails and what not. So why not be able to put out the fires in and old fashion ways with FIRE BUCKETS! <3 I made a thread about it on the steam forums :>

Our team of volunteers paid visits to our storage facility this week to photography a wide array of objects related to the history of the RA and the practice of making art. One highlight was this set of fire buckets complete with RA branding! Before the age of fire extinguishers, these proud red buckets were dotted around Burlington House and the RA Schools.

Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage. Before the use of fire hydrants and engines, communities relied on the help of neighbors to put out fires. This 1836 bucket has Penhaller, the owner's name on it. After the fire, buckets were left in a pile and the owner found his or her bucket and carried it home. Let’s learn how to prevent fires so we don’t have to grab our water buckets!
