Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of firefighting techniques and equipment in the United States. The author examines the reasons behind the alarming increase in fires and loss of life and argues that a new approach is needed to prevent fires before they start. By comparing the old and new systems through historical examples, the author demonstrates how small, handheld fire extinguishing devices can be more efficient than large steam-powered engines, particularly in the early stages of a fire. The author concludes by suggesting that firefighting brigades be equipped with these smaller devices, which can dramatically reduce property damage and save lives.
