UNDER FIRE   Is the definitive new account of Britain's fire services during the Second World War.

Using unpublished images from private archives, personal anecdotes and reconstructed images, this book also includes the story of the less well-known aspects of the Service. The Overseas Contingent and the Colour Scheme as well as the Fire Boat Service and the amazing story of the volunteer Corps of Canadian Firefighters, which served in England from 1942 to 1945, are all featured here.                           

The book gives a fascinating insight into how the firemen and women lived and worked, how they fought the war on the streets of Britain and how, despite overwhelming odds and personal sacrifice, they helped to bring about victory on the home front.
