Full Image Preview Image Nashua's Bravest - The History of Firefighting in Nashua NH Written by Gary Ledoux | BookBaby Bookshop https://store.bookbaby.com/book/nashuas-bravest-the-history-of-firefighting-in-nashua-nh In a few short years at the beginning of the 1820's, Nashua NH went from an agrarian community of small farms to a booming, industrial city thanks in large part to the textile industry. Large factories were built along Nashua's rivers where they could access water power. This brought people to work the mills, and business to support the people. There was a growing need for fire protection and suppression and so the first fire apparatus, a hand tub, was purchased by one of the mills in 1824, called the T.W. Gillis. From there a second and third hand pumper was secured and by 1837, Nashua had it's own fire department. This book covers the evolution of the department from hand drawn carts to steamers to the first mechanized apparatus to giant diesel pumpers capable of pumping 1250 gallons per minute or more. Saving lives, saving property and protecting Nashua's residents - that's Nashua's Bravest. Paperback

In 1682, Joseph Parker, the settlement's first "lawman" was paid 20 shillings for the previous seven years of work as the town's only Constable. With the advent of several textile mills by the early 1820's, Nashua was transformed from a sleepy stage-stop to a, fast-growing and vibrant industrial town comprised of many different ethnicities and cultures. To keep the peace, the Village of Nashua and in 1853, the City of Nashua added more and more police. The turn of the 20th century saw the advent of the automobile and Nashua's earliest "paddy wagons" and police cruisers. By the 1920's, police commanders realized that policing was more than wrestling an intoxicated citizen to jail – responsible policing required training. Today, the Nashua Police Department is one of the best trained, and best equipped in the country. They are truly – Nashua's Finest! Paperback
