Fire-engines can be traced back as far as the 17th century. The changes and development of the fire-engine can be paralleled with the progress of other types of motorized industry. This volume records the history of the fire-engine from the early days of hand-held water hoses to the latest specialist machines. Landmark events are detailed, including the patent of a powerful manually pumped fire-engine, the recruitment of the first liveried crews, and the first motorized engines. Technological advances such as high-rise ariel appliances, computerized eqiupment, hydraulic platforms and equipment for dealing with specialist emergencies are discussed too.
