| Caption | Before buying a hand-pulled hose cart in 1909, Kirkland residents carried water to local fires in leather buckets. By 1954, the town had several vehicles and a well-trained volunteer fire department which fought blazes in Kirkland, Rose Hill, and other nearby communities.
In this December 1954 photo, members of the Kirkland Fire Department (King County Fire District 41) take some children for a holiday ride in a fire engine. |
