The Charitable Association

of the Boston Fire Department.

This Institution was formed June 19, 1828, and incorporated in

1830—f0r the purpose of affording relief to such of their number

as may receive injury whilst performing their duties as firemen.

Any fireman who pays 50 cents receives assistance during the year

his certificate is dated—viz: has all his physicians, and other

necessary bills paid,-and a sum allowed him for his lost time,

not exceedin $9 a week. This assistance is continued aslonrgas

he is sick. 0 show the value of this society, we can state, that

it consisted of 1231 members for the year 1835—am0unt received

$615 50—and yet it expended for the relief alone of 126 injured

mem rs $215737 ; over three times the amount received ,' for the

balance they depend upon donations. Every first Tuesday in

January, 20 Trustees are chosen, who govern the concerns of the

society for one year.

We have now given a detailed account of the “ Boston Fire

Department,” an institution, of which the city may justly be

proud; as, for its celerity, energy and perseverance, in putting

out fires, it is not probably excelled, if e ualled by anythinv in

this country, and perhaps in the werld. When we re ect

that the duty of the Fireman though voluntary is always labori

ous and omen almost incredible, we shall doubtless be willing to

award to him the mood of praise which is due. 1

Many of the readers of this little work will doubtless be led,

while passing through the accurate account we have given of this

guardian establishment. to a retrospect of the manner of doing

things some 12 or 15 years ago, when, at a fire the voice and pole

of the fireward were almost as terrible to the lookers on, as the

flames to the sufferers. A destructive fire at the lower end of

Beacon St.. corner ot'Charlcs St., by which 150r lti valuable d wel

ling houses were lain in ashes, aroused the city to a sense of the

necessity of doing something. It was not however. till the disas

trous conflagratinn of Kilby and Central Sts. in 1825, that our cit

izens came to a fixed determination to establish a dopnrtment in

character with the increasing prosperity of the city.
