Early London Fire-Appliances
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 January 2012
Extract
Until a comparatively late date in the history of London appliances for dealing with outbreaks of fire were very primitive. Barrels of water kept outside the larger houses in summer or times of drought, ladders, and strong crooks of iron with cords and chains attached to pull down burning buildings, were the only means available to extinguish a fire.
