In the 1860s, people fought fires mostly by forming bucket brigades where individuals passed buckets of water to one another to extinguish the flames. Some cities had volunteer fire departments with hand-pumped fire engines that sprayed water. Buildings were often made of wood, so firefighting was challenging and fires could easily spread.
