This day in History 1892

On this day in History 1892 the Alert Fire Company #4 was formed. This Fire Company was located across from the Virginia Brewery at 1219 Wise Ave. and was formed by workers from the Brewery. From the stories I have read, the guys drank a lot of beer during the meetings. The Alert Fire Company disbanded on February 4, 1903. The picture below is the only known photo of the Alert Fire Company and was actually cropped from a bigger picture with other Companies in it. If you know of another picture please contact me.
