Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, produced by the British Fire Prevention Committee in 1911, delves into the preventive measures they undertook due to the elevated fire risks brought on by the immense crowds during the Coronation of that year. The author decided to distribute cautionary materials, meeting with householders, businesses, and public institutions to ensure that proper safety precautions were widely implemented. Their efforts extended to the streets, where public notices were posted to raise awareness and encourage fire safety among the general public. Through these strategic actions, significant outcomes were achieved, with only one minor fire incident reported along the procession route on Coronation day. The book's insights into fire prevention during large-scale events remain highly relevant today, providing invaluable guidance for organizers and attendees alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
