Maynard, Massachusetts: Chandler Press, 1988. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. Good. Unpaginated (36 pages plus covers).Ink mark to front cover. Illustrated cover. Illustrations. Using fine old engravings, this book follows the changes in fire fighting equipment over the years, shows some of the biggest fires of the nineteenth century, and lets you take a look at some of the great oldtime fire-fighters. Topics covered include The Early Days; Old Fire Escapes; Old Fire Extinguishers; The Steam Fire Engine Arrives; Great Fires; Burning of the City of Chicago, The Commercial Metropolis of The Northwest; Chicago Ruins; Chicago In Flames; Other Great Fires; Fire Insurance; and Great Old Firemen. Contains a listing of Great 19th Century American Fires between 1848 and 1816 (when Washington, D.C. was burned by the British, with great devastation.) Using fine old engravings, this book follows the changes in fire fighting equipment over the years, shows some of the biggest fires of the nineteenth century, and lets readers look at some great old-time firefighters. Also includes information on Fire Insurance, as well as Great Old Firemen. Chemical fire extinguishers ejecting water, a saline solution, or carbonic gas, also came into use during the 19th century. The portable type in use by these erstwhile firemen shows a patent of 1868. Extinguishers during this time varied in size from small grenade-like devises to large chemical tanks carried by wagons. In 1736, Benjamin Franklin founded the Union Fire Company in Philadelphia, which became the standard for volunteer fire organizations. These firefighters had two critical tools: salvage bags and so-called bed keys. Salvage bags were used to quickly collect and save valuables, and bed keys were used to separate the wooden frame of a bed (often the most valuable item in a home at the time) into pieces for safe and rapid removal from the fire. The first American attempt at fire insurance failed after a large fire in Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1736. Later in 1740, Benjamin Franklin organized the Philadelphia Contributionship to provide fire insurance, which was more successful. The Contributionship adopted "fire marks" to easily identify insured buildings. Firefighting started to become formalized with rules for providing buckets, ladders, and hooks, and with the formation of volunteer companies. A chain of command was also established. A firefighter's goals are to save lives, protect property, and protect the environment. A fire can rapidly spread and endanger many lives, but with modern firefighting techniques, catastrophe can often be avoided. To prevent fires from starting, a firefighter's duties may include public education about fire safety and conducting fire inspections of locations to verify their adherence to local fire codes. Firefighting requires skills in fire suppression, rescue, and hazardous materials mitigation. Firefighters must also have, or be able to acquire, knowledge of department organizations, operations, and procedures,[4] and the district or city street system[4] they will have to negotiate in order to perform their duties. They must meet minimum physical fitness standards and learn various firefighting duties within a reasonable period.
