Firefighting History in United Kingdom

                 Firefighting is believed to have originated during the Roman invasion of Britain in AD43. These organized teams would use buckets and syringes to douse a fire.

        Prior to the Great Fire of London, in 1666, some parishes in the UK had begun to organize rudimentary firefighting. After much of London was destroyed the first insurance against fire was introduced by a man named Nicholas Barbon. To reduce the cost Barbon formed his own Fire Brigade. Eventually there were many other such companies. Then at the start of the 1800s, those with insurance were given a badge or mark to attached to their properties. Only those with such a badge would have a fire extinguished. Other buildings with no coverage or under a different company were left to burn.

          In 1833 companies in London merged to form The London Fire Engine Establishment.

              Steam powered appliances were first introduced in the 1850s, allowing a greater quantity of water to be guided onto a fire. The steam powered appliances were replaced in the early 1900s with the invention of the internal combustion engine.
