Firefighting History

Прочитайте и переведите текст.

                                                    PART I.

Firefighting is the act of extinguishing fires. A firefighter fights these fires to prevent destruction of life, property and the environment. Firefighting is a highly technical skill that requires professionals who have spent years training in both general firefighting techniques and specialized areas of expertise.

Fire fighting, techniques and equipment used to extinguish fires and limit the damage caused by them. Fire fighting consists of removing one or more of the three elements essential to combustion-fuel, heat, and oxygen-or of interrupting the combustion chain reaction.

Fire Departments

 

         The Roman Emperor Augustine is credited with instituting a corps of firefighting vigils (“watchman”) in 24 BC. Regulations for checking and preventing

fires were developed. In the preindustrial era most cities had watchman who

sounded an alarm at signs of fire. The principal piece of fire-fighting equipment in

ancient Rome and into early modern times was the bucket, passed from hand to

hand to deliver water to the fire. Another important fire-fighting tool was the ax,

used to remove the fuel and prevent the spread of fire as well as to make openings

that would allow heat and smoke to escape a burning building. In major conflagration

long hooks with ropes were used to pull down buildings in the path of an

approaching fire to create firebreak. When explosives were available, they would

be used for this same purpose.

Following the Great Fire of London in 1666, fire brigades were formed by insurance

companies. The government was not involved until 1965, when these brigades

became London’s Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The first modern standards for

the operation of a fire department were not established until 1830, in Edinburgh,

Scotland. These standards explained, for the first time, what was expected of

a good fire department.

After a major fire in Boston in 1631, the first fire regulation in America was established.

In 1648 in New Amsterdam (now New York) fire wardens were appointed,

thereby establishing the beginnings of the first public fire department in

North America.
