"The Fireman's Boots"

The members of his company always prayed when they took off their boots,
But this time so many would not be taking off their boots.
This day his prayers were heavy in his heart and God heard them.
Up from the dust and smoldering ashes came Old Glory.
He knows they did not lose their lives, they gave them.
God Bless America!

This site is a display of Firefighting Boots, Patches, Memorials, and other items.  The site features a display of many fire boots, several of which are very old and come from fire departments across the country.  The Generator House features the new storage building that houses the massive fire boot collection and a 45 KVA Diesel Generator.  Go to The Fireman's Boots page for more boots.

As I travel across the USA, it has become apparent that many interesting sites are related to firefighting.  This includes the Iowa Firefighters Memorial and even the lone fire truck (ready for action) in the front yard of a volunteer  firefighter in a small town in Wisconsin!  The visit to "Ground Zero" in New York was an extremely emotional experience.

"We shall not forget!"

A few fire Departments are featured on this site with several links to FDNY Companies.  Our condolences and deepest sympathy go to those in the World Trade Center, those on the hijacked airliners, those in the Pentagon, and the New York Firefighters who lost their lives September 11, 2001.
