R. M. Ballantyne Fighting the Flames, a Tale of the London Fire Brigade (Classic Reprint) - Online indir

In the fabrication of it my chief aim has been to convey a correct general idea of the working of the London Fire Brigade, without attempting to expound that brigade in its uttermost details. I f, in this effort, I have been in any degree successful, much of my success is due to Captain E. M. Shaw, chief officer of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade; to Sampson Low, Esq., Secretary to the London Fire-E scape Society, and to those officers and men of both brigades who have afforded me every facility and opportunity for acquiring information and attending fires to all of whom I now tender my best thanks for their kindness and courtesy.
