About the Project
History of the Philadelphia Fire Department, located at Philadelphia’s Engine 8, Ladder 2 Firehouse, honors and celebrates the Philadelphia Fire Department (PFD) and its several-hundred-year evolution from early beginnings as a volunteer organization co-founded by BEnjamin Franklin in 1736. This 1,400-square-foot mural showcases moments from the department’s history, such as original horse-drawn wagons, modern technologies, and specific moments of tragedy and triumph that have transformed public safety in Philadelphia.
