Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of Proceedings of the International Fire Prevention Congress, Convened in London, England, July 6th to 11th, 1903
This Congress is convened by the Executive of the British Fire Prevention Committee, a body whose main objects are to direct attention to the urgent need for increased protection of life and property from fire by the adoption of preventive meas ures, to use its influence in every direction towards minimizing the dangers of fire and to bring together those scientifically interested in the subject of fire prevention.
The Committee was founded at the time when the terrible loss of life at the Paris Charity Bazaar fire of 1897 still haunted the public mind, and the enormous destruction of property in the Cripplegate area in London had made a deep impression both at home and abroad. In the five years of its short life the Committee has done much work in testing materials and circulating publications, but on no occasion has it put forward such an ambitious programme as when it attempted to organize this conference.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains the proceedings and discussions of the International Fire Prevention Congress held in London in 1903.
