Excerpt from Our Firemen: The Official History of the Brooklyn Fire Department, From the First Volunteer to the Latest Appointee

The story of the Brooklyn Fire Department is a part of the municipal history of Brooklyn. But little more than one hundred years after its settlement, a Volunteer Fire Company came into existence, and the evolution of the Fire Department from this primitive beginning to the perfected organism of to-day, has been coincident with the development of the city from a Colonial hamlet to the proud position it now occupies among the cities of the United States.

This work has been prepared in full sense of the scope, dignity and importance of such an undertaking. Original sources have been drawn upon wherever possible and no effort of verification has been spared. Such authorities as were accessible have been used with discretion, but the history is principally contempofaneous, and its narrative founded upon facts gathered by conscientious research, will be found as novel and engrossing as it is authentic.

Wonderful, in truth, is the story! - of continuous energy, skill and devotion on the part of the Department, of unremittent public spirit and appreciation on the part of the people, and of final achievement which has placed the organization in the first rank and justified the honest pride of the citizens of Brooklyn.

Thanks are due to all engaged in this production, and to many prominent among their fellow-citizens for the constant and cordial co-operation they have given in the preparation of this work. Without such generous aid the difficulties would have been almost insurmountable, and the results far less satisfactory and complete.

"Our Firemen" is presented with considerable confidence, as an accurate and comprehensive history, in the hope that it will be found to be such by those who have occasion to refer to it, as well as that the reader will appreciate the labor and difficulties involved in producing such a work.
