Summary "Firemen and Their Exploits" by F. M. Holmes is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the evolution of firefighting techniques and equipment, exploring the rise and development of fire brigades, and detailing various appliances utilized for extinguishing flames and saving lives. This book encapsulates the remarkable story of how firefighting evolved from rudimentary methods to the highly organized and technologically advanced systems in place during the author's time. The opening of the book introduces readers to the fast-paced life of a fireman in London through an exciting scene where a fire alarm rings, and a crew of firemen swiftly prepares to respond. As they race to the fire, the narrative vividly illustrates the urgency and chaos of a fire emergency, detailing the rescue of three trapped individuals from a burning building. The text highlights the introduction of innovative appliances like horsed fire-escapes, and hints at the broader historical context of firefighting, outlining the inadequacies of previous methods and setting the stage for a deeper exploration of firefighting history throughout the subsequent chapters.
