| This exciting new full-colour hardback history of the London Fire Brigade is the complete and authoritative work. It features never before published photographs from the unique archive of the London Fire Brigade. The book graphically describes some of the firefighting and rescue work of the Brigade over the last 170 years, from the explosive days of the London Blitz, when firefighters stood in the streets to face 57 continual nights of aerial bombardment, probably the fireiest period in British history, to the challenges facing the modern-day London firefighter. |
