This project has been possible thanks to the impulse and leadership of the Prevention, Extinction of Fire and Salvage Service (SPEIS) of the Security and Prevention Management and the Management of the Municipal Archive System of Barcelona.
The digital resource ” Firefighters of Barcelona, a journey in TIME ” aims to put in value and make accessible the historical documentation of the Barcelona Fire Brigade currently distributed between the different archives of the city or not yet digitized. The new digital resource aims to boost the citizen interest on the Barcelona Fire Brigade and its historical legacy at the service of the city.
