Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

TULSA, Oklahoma -

There's an effort underway to open the city's first museum to honor firefighters and their history.

They're raising money through "The Find our History a Home Campaign" so they can buy a building from the American Lung Association.

The Fire Alarm Building built in 1931 is an original piece of Tulsa History and, hopefully, in the future, will be the Tulsa Firefighters Museum.

Sitting just east of downtown the Tulsa Fire Alarm building is in nearly perfect condition; the art deco building has been preserved for over 80 years.

"All of the tile work and most of the ceiling except the floor is original," said Debbie Bailey with the TFD Museum Board.

In the early days of the fire department it served as a central communication center for the Tulsa Fire Department.

Boxes were at nearly every street corner and when there was a fire, the lever was pulled and a message was sent to the building.

Firefighters would know what corner to go to and try and find the fire," Bailey said.

Times have changed, but the building remains a part of TFD history.

Right in the middle of the paddy fields on Thondamuthur Road is an ochre, tile roofed room whose walls bear witness to the works of a few great men, who ensured food for the masses.

And it is in this room the Paddy Breeding Station was born over a century ago. It will soon become a museum showcasing the history of paddy breeding since the British Raj. And, at present, the room is part of the Department of Rice, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU).

Vice-Chancellor K. Ramasamy says that the room will have old implements, photographs, paintings and everything that will bring alive the paddy breeding work that has been going on since 1912, starting with F.R. Parnell, who arrived here as the government economic botanist to collect paddy varieties. Thus was born the modern Indias first paddy breeding station.

The Imperial Government did establish another paddy breeding station in 1911. But, that is in Dakha with the new name, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute.

S. Robin, Head of the Department of Rice, says Parnells job was to collect various paddy varieties in South India, study and document them.

They had the help of an artist, whose paintings are intact and fresh even today and appear as good as photographs.

The museum to-be has a photograph showing the receipt of Valwadam paddy variety from the tahsildar of Bezawada (Vijayawada) on October 1903. Mr. Robin says that though the Imperial Government established the breeding station only in 1912, the work started at least a decade earlier.

The room also has old glass slides with picture negatives of paddy varieties to be projected and shown during seminars, a gold-plated microscope, equipment used in paddy collection, century-old books containing drawings of various paddy varieties and much more.

He says that Parnell, his successor R.O. Iliffe and his successor K. Ramiah and a few others collected close to 2,500 traditional paddy varieties from the Indian sub-continent.

To date, the university has the varieties stored in the Ramiah Cold Storage Bank.

The automatic sprinkler system kept an early morning fire at Stanton Tower from becoming worse, but it did leave behind water damage.

Fremont Fire Department crews were called to the eighth floor of Stanton Tower at 3:56 a.m. today. They found the apartments resident laying in about 4 inches of water in the doorway, Capt. Pat Tawney said.

The sprinkler system is priceless, Tawney said.

Tawney said it appears the resident had left a placed a piece of wood on top of the stove and then a microwave on top of that. So far, its undetermined how the fire started.

Smoke was contained to the eighth floor of the high-rise apartment building, but Tawney said there was water damage on the eighth, seventh and sixth floors. An additional shift was called in to help with the cleanup.

The resident was transported to Fremont Health Medical Center.

Several residents did evacuate their apartments this morning. Tawney said those whose apartments sustained water damage were working with the Fremont Housing Authority, which operates the complex, on what steps to take next.

Typically, Tawney said, the department recommends residents at either Gifford Tower or Stanton Tower remain in their apartments and place a towel at the bottom of the door when there is a fire in another unit until firefighters ask them to evacuate. Sprinklers and the concrete construction of the buildings help keep fires from spreading.
