Kenyon as Captain. After a 1905 fire destroyed the Long Beach Pavilion, a $30,000bond was issued by popular vote to build a central fire station as well as provide equipment, including fire alarm boxes, asteam fire engine, a hose wagon, and a hook and ladder truck, as well as a team of horses to pull the newly purchasedtrucks.In 1906, the first official fire station (Station No. 1) was built at 210 West Third Street. The department was headed by ChiefJoseph E. Shrewsbury and Assistant Chief George Craw, with a few men hired to be trained as firemen. The regular firemenwere assisted by "Call Firemen," who would be paid per fire fought. In 1907, the department purchased its first motorizedfire trucks. In 1908, Station No. 2 and Station No. 3 were opened, and Station No. 4 was opened in 1910. In 1916, ChiefShrewsbury was killed in an automobile accident while responding to a fire call (which ultimately turned out to be a falsealarm), and George Craw replaced him as the city's second Fire Chief.In 1917, in response to the city's growing population and the increase in the number of fires, the Fire Prevention Bureauwas established. In 1920, the department hired additional full-time personnel and ground was broken on two additional firestations, Station No. 5 and Station No. 6. Between 1924 and 1929, and additional six stations were built throughout thecity.Oil was discovered in the Signal Hill area of Long Beach in 1921, and the oil industry swiftly descended on the city to begindrilling operations. The early oil fields were extremely dangerous places. Due to a general disregard for safety, and the factthat oil derricks were built using wood, the oil fields were particularly susceptible to fires. The first major oil fire occurred atthe Fisher refinery in 1924, which was followed by the Alamitos fire in 1927.On March 10, 1933, a 6.3 earthquake occurred, within an epicenter located a few miles off shore from Newport Beach. This devastated Long Beach and many surrounding cities. Several fire stations (Stations No. 1, 5, 7, and 9), along with many

other buildings including Polytechnic High School, were destroyed in the quake, and a few firemen died as a result ofinjuries sustained. Another major oil fire, the Richfield Oil Refinery fire, occurred in June of that year, and was most likelycaused by residual damage from the March earthquake.Following the earthquake, the city went to work building new stations to replace those destroyed, as well as addingadditional fire stations and increasing the number of personnel employed by the department. In 1938, the departmentmoved to install "Talk Alarm" receivers in various stations, which greatly increased the effectiveness of the department byallowing identical information to be received in all stations, thus reducing errors in responding to the wrong address onalarms. In 1942, the city acquired its first fire boat, the "Charles S. Windham." The decision to invest in fire boats proved agood one in December 1945, when a large fire took place on Pier 1 at Berths 51, 52, 53, and 54. The fire, which was themost disastrous in the city's history, burned for several days, though fortunately no casualties were recorded. In 1964, anew drill tower and Fire College opened to train the many new fire fighters needed to service the expanding city.The Long Beach Fireman's Historical Museum was founded in 1980 by Herb Bramley to document the history of fire fightersin Long Beach and to restore historic fire engines. The museum is currently housed in the building which originally housedFire Station No. 10, and also contains an extensive collection of fire fighter's tools and equipment, as well as log books usedby the department throughout its history.Scope and ContentThe Long Beach Fireman's Historical Museum Photographs Collection consists primarily of negatives documenting the LongBeach Fire Department's history and activities from 1906 to the early 1970s. The negatives are primarily 4x5" black andwhite film, through there are some negatives of additional size, including 5x7", 2½x2½", 3½x5½", and 35mm, mostly blackand white with a few color negatives. There is also a collection of photographic prints, which document both the history ofthe Long Beach Fire Department, as well as some of the early history of the city of Long Beach. These photographs are ofvarying size, with the majority being 8x10" prints.The negatives are arranged numerically, and are primarily in chronological order. The negatives are all filed under serialnumbers originally assigned by the Long Beach Fire Department, and those numbers have largely been retained in thecollection. The serial number is followed by digits representing the number of negatives and prints which are included perset. Each group of negatives is housed within one or more acid-free envelopes, and negatives which have been digitallyscanned are housed separately from those which have not been scanned. Scanned negatives are indicated by an "S" on theenvelope. There is a small collection of nitrate-based negatives, which are stored separately from the general collectiondue to their inherent instability.Photographic prints have been arranged topically, and were assigned an inventory number during processing. Digitallyscanned prints are housed separately from unscanned prints. Those prints that are copies of negatives in the collection arehoused in two additional boxes, and their inventory numbers correspond to the serial numbers of the negatives from whichthey were printed.The Fire Museum maintains prints from the original negatives and a great deal of scrapbooks.The collection is separated into 15 series: Apparatus, Car Collisions & Traffic Accidents, City Departments, Drill School &Demonstrations, Fire Prevention, Fire Stations, Fires, Funerals, Ladies Auxiliary, Miscellaneous, Mutual Benefit & Union,Parades & Publicity, Personnel, Site Inspections, and Tests. The series were assigned according to the Long Beach FireDepartment's subject index ledger, and negatives and prints which were not assigned a series designation in this ledgerwere assigned one during processing which corresponds to the Fire Department's series descriptions.Aside from providing insight into the history of fire fighting in Long Beach, this collection explores the evolution of life inSouthern California from the early 1900s through the 1970s. In documenting the activities of the fire department, thephotographs in this collection also documents the people residing in the city of Long Beach: the homes they lived in, thecars they drove, the businesses they established, and their general way of life. In addition, the collection provides pictorialevidence of the human impact on the environment in the city of Long Beach, particularly as it pertains to the oil industry,which was a major influence on the growth and development of the city. Some striking photographs of the sea of oilderricks blanketing the landscape of Long Beach can be viewed in this collection.Information regarding the collection has been entered into the following fields:
