Историческая справка
In June 1803, a professional fire brigade was organised by decree of Emperor Alexander I. According to this decree, a fire brigade was set up at each police station. Initially, wooden towers were added to the buildings housing the fire brigades. Later, they were replaced by proper fire watchtowers. One of the most striking examples of such architecture is the watchtower of the Vasilyevskaya Fire Station.
In 1882, the City Council decreed to construct the Vasileostrovskaya (Vasilyevskaya) Fire Station. The new building was to replace the dilapidated assembly house (the combined building of the police department and the fire house) in the 8th liniya.
On the outskirts of Smolensk pole, an urban land plot was allotted for the fire station and the police department (at the corner of Bolshoy prospekt and the current 21st liniya). Both red brick buildings were completed by 1884 according to the design of civil engineer Vladimir Shalamov.
There were outbuildings at the back of the plot. The fire station had a stable. On the ground floor of the station there were rooms to make a fire train, to store uniforms and gear, as well as a drying room, a dining room, and a kitchen. The firefighters themselves lived on the first floor.
Since 1957, the building housed the first Fire Technical Museum in the country. In 1965, a permanent Fire Technical Exhibition was opened in the building. Seven years later, it was headed by Boris Konchayev, a retired head of the Leningrad Fire Department (he held this post for 24 years).
In 1995, in front of the fire station, a monument was erected to the firefighter heroes who defended Leningrad and died in the line of duty during the Siege of Leningrad and the Great Patriotic War. To this day, the Fire Technical Exhibition named after Boris Konchayev welcomes its visitors.
