Every Department Should Be So Lucky

 
"Cheryl Anderson brings together 150 years of visual history for "Detroit Firefighters: A Pictorial History of the People."

Using research skills gained through 20 years of genealogy research, Anderson assembled a pictorial history of 4,200 Detroit firefighters, which she is self-publishing this month.

Anderson, a South Lyon area resident for more than 30 years, became interested in recording the history of Detroit firefighters because of her husband, Fred, who served in the Detroit Fire Department for 35 years.

Although Fred retired three years ago, the couple's son Dan is still a Detroit firefighter. Until a recent series of lay-offs, their son Tike was also with the Detroit Fire Department.

"Detroit Firefighters" features photographs of firefighters from 1865 to the present. A brief written history of the department introduces the 200-page book, which is arranged alphabetically by name. Every person in the photographs is identified.
