Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and significance of London's re-fighting force. Organized by Alfred De Lissa, London's architect and surveyor, the book concludes with an essay by Charles Knight. Both historical and contemporary in scope, the book unpacks the importance of the Brigade and its place within the context of the city's history. It illuminates the dangerous and frequently deadly conditions many of the firemen faced, the creation of the Floating Fire Engine in the fight against fires on the River Thames, the creation of the first organised fire force in London and the problems encountered by the newly formed Brigade in its early years, and the bravery of the men who fought a fierce battle against The Great Fire of Tooley Street. The author covers the evolution and challenges faced by London's fire-fighting service and the development of London's fire service up until the late 19th century.
