London's Fire Engines

The ex-London Firefighter John Nadal, known for his book London’s Fire Stations, has published two new volumes entitled London’s Fire Engines. With a total of 624 pages, copiously illustrated, the two volumes are a substantial contribution to documenting the history of London’s fire appliances.

Volume 1 spans early manuals and horse-drawn appliances to machines in use at the start of the GLC era, and has a Forward by our own Liveryman Mike Hebard.

Volume 2 covers appliances up to 2016, as well as having a chapter on Brigade Workshops and a series of Appendices on vehicles and Fleet Lists.

The books can be ordered from: http://www.firebookshop.co.uk and have a current print run of 300.
