Fire Prevention and Fire Extinction

“Fire Prevention and Fire Extinction” is an informational book on the subject of fires, attributed to James Braidwood, London's First Superintendent of the London Fire-Brigade, and a Civil Engineer. Published post humously, a memoir of Braidwood's states, «The modern system of English fire brigades belongs wholly to the period of railways, steam navigation, and electric telegraphs, and it owes nearly all to the genius and disciplined heroism of a single individual, James Braidwood, who, but little more than four years ago, fell—as nobly for himself as sadly for others—at his chosen post of duty.” The book covers the sub-topics: fire-proof structures, fire-proof safes, public fire brigades, private means for suppressing fires, fire-engines, fire annihilators, portable fire-escapes and water supply.
