Most municipal functions were a ssumed by the U.S. Army under the authority of the military governor. The "We've Been Burned: Alexandria Firefighters During the Civil War" walkin g tour will explore firefighting during the Union occupation. How were vo lunteer fire companies treated by Federal authorities? Were firefighters a llowed out after curfew? What happened to the firehouses and equipment? These questions will be answered as tour participants visit the sites of four of the five fire houses\, and learn what happened if there was a fire in the occupied city. \n\nFor age 10 and older. \n\nLocation: Friendship Firehouse Museum\, 107 S.
