Before the days of cities providing firefighting services to the public, private fire insurance companies would offer their services for a fee and gave their customers with a mark as a sign their building was under the company’s protection. Learn more about this unique type of signage and its history while getting a peak at the Museum’s recently acquired fire mark collection.
About the speaker: Tom Hardy has collected fire marks since his first attendance at an annual convention of the Fire Mark Circle of the Americas in 1986.
