We follow the development of fire fighting from the earliest known forms through social changes, the industrial revolution, two world wars and modern day. A wide use of photographs enhances the talk. Additionally we discuss the role of women in fire fighting especially during the Great War.
Views: 302 | Enquiries: 7I have been speaking for over 30 years on a range of subjects to many different and varied audiences. These include Rotary Clubs, Probus, Schools and different associations and special interest groups throughout the UK. At the age of 55 I was invited to go to University for the first time and gained a Masters Degree in British History, specializing in First World War Studies. During my career in the fire service I undertook presenting to many folk on the development of the Fire Service and other emergency services. Whilst I am based in Buckinghamshire, I have travelled widely not only researching but assisting with exhibitions and displays as well as giving talks.
