No, I'm wrong in this firehouse is another definite plus: the museum of fire equipment. Exhibits there are relatively few, but what is available, very well reflects all the stages of development of fire business in Kiev, and to get acquainted with the historical fire equipment can not only photos, but also in the scale of 1: 1 in the form of real samples. < br />

6. The problem of extinguishing fires occurred a long time ago. While many buildings were made of wood, it was particularly acute because originally a small fire could easily destroy half the city. Kiev is not an exception and has suffered several severe fires, including one of the most famous - a fire in 1811 at the hem. It was after this fire significantly increased attention to the problem and soon appeared in the city of the first fire. The first fire technique was straightforward: a few carts, harnessed horses. On the ground (pictured furthest) went firefighters and transported small tools: hooks, crowbars, etc. In subsequent transporting fire hoses, barrels with water and pump.

13. Subsequently, the hand pump was replaced by steam. This is not a fire engine because he was also a horse-drawn, but the performance of 1000 l / min - was obviously nicer manual labor. However, the pump was at least one significant flaw in the heating boiler required a lot of time - 15-20 minutes. Therefore, using this pump only large fires extinguished or burned if something very important. Existed for these pumps to about the 1920s.

14. The first fire engine in Kiev appeared in 1913 on the chassis of the first "Mercedes". Vehicle to this day has not lived, and a rough idea of ​​what had been the first fire engines are available for this photo. Firefighter car had a body "line". Fire brigade was located on the longitudinal benches backs to each other. Behind the fire was placed extension ladder in the pegs were boxes with fire tools, and installed in the rear of the pump and a fire hose reel.

Here the driver and the commander of the fire brigade were in the cabin windows, though the rest of the team is still along the boards on the outer seats. The most dangerous time of the year for the team was still winter, because water on the fire froze clothes that could cause the common cold and other illnesses.

16. Modification of 1940 already had an extended cab, which put the whole team. The original was also placing the pump in front of the radiator grille. True winter it was a danger of freezing water in the pump.

17. Another museum exhibit - ZIS-150. There were these machines by the fire in the 50-ies of the last century. Instance, located in the museum - difficult. This machine was transported exclusively fire hoses, which could fit inside a 100 pieces. Upon arrival at the fire hoses which are in special cassettes, unloaded with a special mechanism that will quickly increase the overall length of the sleeves up to a kilometer.
