Miles Greenwood (1807-1885) was the founder of Eagle Ironworks. Located near Cincinnati, the factory was the largest in the Midwest, and a major producer of supplies and ammunition for the Union Army. Greenwood is also known for being a co-inventor of the first practical steam fire engines in the United States during the 1850s. Cincinnati became the first American city to form a professional fire brigade on April 1, 1853, and Greenwood was named the first Fire Chief. Eagle Ironworks manufactured the steam-powered engines which could pump water in just ten minutes, which was much faster than previous engines.
