First edition, first impression. viii, 235pp. In pictorial, strong card covers. 8vo. This volume is neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. The first full-length academic history of the British Fire Service, based on a wealth of original archival material. Ewen argues that, for the most part, the British Fire Service was created by its fire-fighters, becoming part of the fabric of local government in the early part of the 20th century.
