Title: Portsmouth Firefighter book signing Author: Tara Johnson Publisher: Seacoast Online Date: 2/27/09 Maine-ly New Hampshire will host Portsmouth Assistant Fire Chief Steve Achilles from 4 to 7 p.m. today for a book-signing of his recent release, "Portsmouth Firefighting." "I was inspired to write the book because the Portsmouth Fire Department has a rich history," he said. "Over the years, we have collected memorabilia, artifacts and images that share the story of the city and the Fire Department together." Barnes & Noble bookstore in Newington will also host Achilles from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday for a signing. Last February, Achilles began researching various aspects of the Fire Department, including historic images and the department's personality over the last 300 years. Achilles said the easiest part of writing the book was collecting images from the Fire Department and members of the community. "The challenging aspect was narrowing down dates and events. I wanted (the book) to be as historically accurate as possible, instead of using generality," said Achilles. Accounts from retired members of the department and their families who were willing to contribute newspaper and family photographs were incorporated into the book's development. Achilles said the two instrumental resources that were vital to the project included the Strawbery Banke Museum and the Portsmouth Public Library. The book offers seven chapters of stories of the Portsmouth Fire Department, utilizing images of previous facilities, equipment and descriptions of historical events. "It was amazing, like a treasure hunt, said Achilles. "I found a lot of hidden pearls." Achilles said, "I hope the book establishes a foundation for local historians, the Fire Department, Portsmouth community members and provides a springboard for aspiring firefighters."
Synopsis
In September 1756, with only fire buckets, two hand tubs, and citizen volunteers safeguarding the Colonial seaport, Portsmouth decided to organize and regulate its fire protection. By 1852, the Portsmouth Fire Department boasted six suction engines and in 1864 entered the age of steam power when the first steam fire engine was delivered. Disastrous fires and a growing city required the department to modernize as it moved into the 20th century. The department s first motorized engine was purchased in 1912, and by 1921, there was a new central fire station along with a new gasoline-powered ladder truck. Through an exceptional collection of photographs, Portsmouth Firefighting richly illustrates the story and tradition of a fire department forever connected to its brave firefighters, their magnificent fire engines, and the spectacular blazes they fought.", In September 1756, with only fire buckets, two hand tubs, and citizen volunteers safeguarding the Colonial seaport, Portsmouth decided to organize and regulate its fire protection.
