MAN discovered FIRE—MAN continues to discover ways to PUT FIRE OUT

How did we get to where we are today? Let’s take a look at firefighting history.

National Academies of Emergency Dispatch has a good article on the
History of Firefighting from early Romans to present day.

On his Rescue, Safety, Saving Lives site, Steve Victory has the History of the Maltese Cross, History of St. Florian, History of the Fire Apparatus, and History of the Star of Life.

Women in the Fire Service, Inc. has an article on Women in Firefighting: A Brief History. Their welcome can also be read in French, German and Spanish.

I found History of Fire Hoses at two sites: Fire Fighters’ Real Stories and at Firehouse Magazine.

We've come a long ways! Will be interesting to see what the future holds.
