Volunteer Fireman
True Public Spirit of the First
President Is Shown in Signi-
fcanf Action Recorded

One of the facts in the history Of
George Washington which most his
torians fail to mention is that he was
volunteer fireman. About 1850 he
enrolled himself in the volunteer fire
company at Alexandria, Va.
1t is related that on more than one
occasion when Washington learned
that there was a fire in the vicinity of
Alexandra which had called out the
firemen he mounted his horse and
rode thither from Mount Vernon. The
records of the place show that when
the volunteer fire department was or
ganized each member agreed "out of
mutual friendship" to carry to every
fire two leathern buckets and one
great bag of oznaburg or wider linen,' -
which was the primitive means of eX-
tinguishing a fire.
The Friendship Fire company of
Alexandria was organized in IVA at
which time Washington was a dele
gate TO the Continental congress in
Philadelphia. The members OF the
company, remembering Washington's
former services as a fireman, elected
him an honorary member at their first
meeting, and forwarded him a copy Of
the minutes.
To show his appreciation of the
compliment, he at once made a thor
ough inspection of the different kinds
Of fire engines in use in Philadelphia,
and upon his second return there in
1915, he bought from one Gibbs a
small fourth-class engine for SO
pounds and ten shillings. and just be-
fore he set out for Boston to become
commandcrin-chief of the Continen-
tai army sent this little engine as a
present to the Friendship company.
Washington did not lose his inter
est in fire matters through his eleva-
ton to position and power. Upon his
retirement to Mount Vernon, after his
second term as president, and when
his fame spread around the world
he continued to take active interest
in the volunteer fire department, and
aided II in many ways.
