The history of the world's firefighters

Fire Department Formed In Roman Period In desperate need of the human essence of fire in daily life. The need for the fire was inevitable, because human beings need light when it comes into the night. Once the fire is also required of man as a tool to warm the body from cold weather, and equipment protection from wild animals. And of course people cope with problems before they were able to create fire. As if the elements are seen and felt hot man at that time as a result of volcanic eruptions or lightning strikes.This situation encourages people to think in order to control the fire, so the fire can be beneficial to his life. In subsequent developments, the use of fire in those days to give effect in ending the nomadic period. It also impacts on social and political developments along with a sedentary settlements perkembangnya. However, the fire is already known to be beneficial to human life, is still seen as sacred and powerful elements. Many of the mythology that the analogies of fire into human nature or character. When the human experience that is very destructive fire as well, since it is the human urge to find out how to control the ferocity of fire. This happened about 300 years BC (BC) in Rome. When the firefighters and the night guard was formed and assigned to a group of people who are named Familia Publica and operations of this group is supervised by the state committee. In a book entitled Principles of Protection work of Arthur Cote, PE and Percy Bugbee explained, in the reign of emperor August (Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus) in 27 BC to 12 AD, the Romans developed the "fire department" for the type of occupancy.And the department is organizing the slaves and citizens in containers called Unit Keep (guard service). Furthermore, it was decreed that states all the people shall maintain and control the fire. The case is an organizational unit (firefighters) to the first. The establishment of this unit aims to protect humans against fire. Their main task is to conduct patrols and surveillance at night (done by the Nocturnes). In a further development, each member has a special task force in case of fire. For example, some members (aquarii) carry water in buckets to the fire location. Then, build a water pipe (aquaducts) to bring water to the entire city, and hand pumps were developed to assist in spraying water onto the fire. Siponarii is the designation for supervisors pumps, and called the fire department commander Praefectus Vigilum who bear the entire responsibility Standby Force. While Roman law sent Quarstionarius (now the same as Police Fire), which bertugas clarify the causes of fires. The government of the Roman Empire at that time began to define his policies about the use of leather hose for fire fighting interests. Officers also carry a large cushion to the scene of the fire, so that people trapped in tall buildings can jump and landed on the pillow. Marco Polo noted on the eastern part of the state administration in the 13th century, namely the people of army troops and the troops fire supervisors who have the task of fire prevention have been formed in Hangchow. They can deploy in performing their duties one to two thousand people to put out the fire. Thousands of troops were divided into groups of 10 people, 5 people on guard at noon, and the rest of the vigil at night. Fire Protection Regulations When the work of Roman fall, very little and almost no effort to establish an organization that protects and controls the fire. This went on for quite a long time. When there were only about fire protection regulations are called Curfew (French: cope with fires) which requires that people put out a fire at a certain hour at night. Curfew In addition, similar regulations are made in Oxford England in 872. In 1189, Britain's first mayor to make a regulation requiring new buildings or stone walls and roof tiles. While the use of thatched roofs which is quite old age is prohibited. Later, in 1566, in Manchester made regulations regarding the storage of fuel storage is safe for the oven bread. And this rule is the law first created in order to prevent fires, which are not directly related to building structures. The state law that first created the English Parliament Act (1583), which concerns the provision bans the manufacture of candles melt way fat in residential buildings. In 1647, manufacturing terbuat chimneys of wood is prohibited.Fire | Fire | Fire | Fire Extinguishers | Environmentally Friendly | F500 http://skaifire.com Powered by

charged with enforcing peratu that role.It is conceivable, how barren its laws and regulations concerning fire prevention have been made during the period when it's over a century. Until 1824 the commission referred to above have not been well established. In that year in Edinburgh, Scotland, formed the troops fire. The task force is developing regulations regarding fire protection, and operating standards are more advanced. Appointed as the commander of troops fire in Edinburgh is a researcher named James Braidwood. He is the author of the handbook (handbook) about Fire Department operations. The handbook of his work was more advanced than previous theories made by James in 1830. This book contains 396 picture of service standards and best thing to do Fire Department.Supervision of night fires Fire Trustees established in major cities in colonial America.In 1654 in Boston, a bellman was assigned to work from 10 pm-ga hing at 5 am. Three years later, an update is made in New York. Fire warden assisted eight volunteers, fire inspectors on duty at night. Volunteers are called as a supervisor rattled, because every case they always sound the alarm that sounds crackling. Supervision of fire at night, is a public agency before the formation of a citizen police unit was formed in New York in 1687. This institution was first established considering the amount of insured property losses, and is considered very important. These community institutions have an important task, namely to help patrol the newly formed insurance agency to be accepted by society. In 1631, a fire disaster in Boston. After the event, for the first time in America was formed Fires Act. It includes bans the use of thatch for the roof of the house, the use of chimney smoke from wood. And rules are run by elected governments Boston.Frontier in 1647 New Amsterdam (now New York) pointed to the energy surveys of buildings to control the fire that hit the building. A few years later, it was called supervisory power survey of five residential fires, which have a common responsibility for fire prevention. Chronology is seen as a forerunner to the birth of the Fire Department in North America. On January 14, 1653, the government of Boston gave the order to buy a car pumping. In this case, there is no record of where the cars are held when the pump and treatment. At that time, additional legislation on fire protection was also formed. The law requires that in the year 1653 throughout the house keep the mop along the 12 feet. It is used for firefighting purposes of the roof, and every house should have a ladder that reaches the edge of the roof. At the same time, the city also provides a ladder, links, and chains to break down the house
