Title

Oskaloosa Fire Department, 1910; Mahaska County; Iowa

Description

Getting to a fire in the early 1900's meant two things; you had a wait on your hands and you probably wouldn't have much left by the time the fire department arrived at the scene. Still, the fire department in those days did everything it possibly could to help citizens and neighbors. This scene shows the Oskaloosa Fire Department building in 1910, located in downtown Oskaloosa.
