Excerpt from Firemen and Their Exploits: With Some Account of the Rise and Development of Fire-Brigades, of Various Appliances for Saving Life at Fires and Extinguishing the Flames
As to fire-brigades, the Insurance Companies, which began to appear after the Great Fire of 1666, were wont to employ separate staffs of men to extinguish fires; but by the year 1833, the more important had united, and the London fire-brigade had been formed under the control of Mr. James Braidwood. Many provincial towns followed the metropolitan model in forming their brigades.
