Dr. Harry M. Archer "Fireman For the Fun of It" 1941 pictorial Heroic FDNY

Description

"Fireman For the Fun of It". A look at the career of firebuff Dr. Harry Archer. The pinnacle of success for a buff was achieved by Dr. Harry M. Archer, when he was appointed 2nd deputy fire commissioner of New York City. He refused to accept his salary in order to maintain his amateur buff standing. Dr. Archer believes he had attended more than 200,000 fires in his 60 years of buffing. When he began his medical career as an intern in the 1890's at Bellevue Hospital, there were no emergency stations at fires to take care of the burned and injured. Dr. Archer, of his own accord and often at his own expense, set up facilities at the scene of many disasters. Nobody called him at first, but he was always there... sometimes ahead of the firemen, and usually ahead of any other doctors.
