A Tale of the London Fire Brigade

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In the fabrication of it my chief aim has been to convey a correct general idea of the working of the London Fire Brigade, Without attempting to ex~ pound that brigade in its uttermost details.
