    QUEST for PITTSBURGH FIRE DEPARTMENT HISTORY James Waldo Fawcett

    QUEST FOR PITTSBURGH FIRE DEPARTMENT HISTORY James Waldo Fawcett proper history of the Pittsburgh fire department exists, and it is possible that none ever can be produced. The materials Noare missing. Fires, floods and human carelessness have destroyed them. Now and again the need for such a book is expressed by a public official or an antiquarian scholar interested only in the philosophical aspects of the theme. In recent years it has been suggested several times that a fire department history be written by a person familiar with the subject from having, like Shakespeare's dyer, worked in it. The difficulty involved, however, soon was realized to be, in effect, insuperable. It simply is not feasible to make an authentic, truly useful history out of non-existent data. But some primary documents still survive and are available. In 1945 The Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania staged an ex- hibition of relics of the big Pittsburgh fire of April 10, 1845. It ob- served the centennial anniversary of that conflagration not only by displaying souvenirs of the disaster but also by publishing a 40-page pamphlet of carefully garnered facts about it,including a comprehen- sive list of descendants of citizens whose properties were destroyed. Most important, though, was evidence brought together in this booklet to indicate that the 1845 holocaust was of a sudden incidence and of a devastating violence so dynamic that no firefighting organiza- tioncould be effective against it. The story of the disaster that reduced to ashes nearly one thousand buildings and their contents is not an account of what resistance there was to the firebut rather an admission of the sober truth that the flames raged unchecked for seven hours.

    The Humanities Center Public Humanities Fellow Program Position Descriptions Position 1 LOCATION: City of Asylum TITLE: Public Humanities Fellow START DATE: May 15, 2017 Organization Description History: In 1989, after publication of his novel The Satanic Verses, a fatwa was issued by the Supreme Leader of Iran that ordered the killing of its author, Salman Rushdie. As a result, Rushdie was forced into hiding. Because of Rushdie’s fame and his resources, he was able to do this securely, though as his memoir Joseph Anton reveals, even his resources were stretched to the limit. Most endangered writers, however, come from circumstances where they have neither fame nor resources. In 1993, in response to a growing incidence of attacks on writers and specifically writer assassinations in Algeria, a group of writers led by Rushdie formed the International Parliament of Writers. At the behest of the IPW, governments in several European cities agreed to provide one to two years of support for endangered writers in exile. These were called “Cities of Asylum,” and they aimed to protect not only freedom of speech and freedom of publication but also the physical safety of writers. In 1997, Salman Rushdie gave a talk in Pittsburgh as part of his re-emergence into public life, during which he briefly mentioned the Cities of Asylum network. Diane Samuels and Henry Reese happened to be in the audience, and they were immediately drawn to this mission. Following the talk, they wrote to Cities of Asylum in Europe about starting a chapter in Pittsburgh. Getting no response, they regularly e-mailed their inquiry, until in 2003 they were put in contact with author Russell Banks, who was charged with expanding the Cities of Asylum movement to the U.S.
