Heritage Trail Guide WELCOME Welcome to the Firefighters’ Heritage Trail, I hope that you will enjoy following the markers and will find this guide to be a useful companion as you travel around the sites. Since 2010, I have been leading a small group who have worked hard to ensure that our unique fire history is never forgotten; this has been achieved by working closely with veterans, communities and other partners to ensure that the details behind each of the firefighters’ sacrifices was fully researched and accurately recorded. Glasgow has a distinguished and dramatic firefighting history. Over the years, as a major port and industrial and commercial centre, the City has seen devastating and tragic fires. Some of those fires claimed the lives of firefighters who had fought gallantly to contain the destruction. To honour Glasgow’s fallen firefighters, The Firefighters’ Heritage Trail has been created to tell the stories of some of the people and places that have played an important part in the history of firefighting in Glasgow. 12 memorial plaques have been set into the pavement to mark the sites where firefighters lost their lives. In addition, we have identified several further sites of special interest relating to the history of the fire service in Glasgow. More information on the ‘extended’ trail can be found by visiting The Firefighters’ Heritage Trail website at www.fireheritagetrail.org. Assistant Chief Officer Lewis Ramsay Chair, The Firefighters’ Heritage Committee 1 Queens Court SATURDAY 14TH JANUARY 1832 A disastrous and destructive fire took place here in the 24 properties comprising Queens Court. During the extensive operations Fireman James Bruce of the Glasgow Fire Brigade was killed whilst firefighting. Fireman James Bruce died when he fell from the head of a ladder at what was described as “one of the most destructive fires that has occurred in Glasgow for a very long period of time.” The owner of the affected property offered the firefighters £5 (a large sum at the time) if they would retrieve his safe from the ruins. This was done, but the men agreed that the widow of Fireman Bruce be given the reward money.

HIG GE H S T ST 2 Royal Exchange Square FRIDAY 5TH DECEMBER 1856 A disastrous and destructive fire took place at numerous properties at the above location. Fireman John Harrison of the Glasgow Fire Brigade died as a result of injuries received whilst firefighting. Fireman Harrison served at the Central Fire Engine Station, College Street which had opened five years previously in 1851. In 1856, the city of Glasgow was expanding with various trades and the steady influx of people from the Highlands and Ireland. At that time, it was quite an involved procedure for firefighters to attend a fire. To sound the alarm, a team of drummers had specific routes to travel to which included the houses of where the firefighters lived. The houses had a sign indicating a fireman lived there.

Fireman David Smith and Fireman Charles Orr resided at the North Fire Station on St. George’s Road. The bodies of the firemen were removed from the scene of the fire and delivered back to their homes, which was the practice at the time. The Brigade was held in high regard by the public (as they protected factories and therefore jobs) hence the popular toast of the time “Success to the Glasgow Fire Brigade”.

By the early 1900s, the Glasgow Fire Brigade had started to become motorised. Glasgow’s street fire alarm system (since 1875) was the first in Britain. Fireman Rae served at the new Central Fire Station 21 at Ingram Glasgow Street Fire Alarm, c.1878 Alarm, Glasgow Street Fire Street which opened in 1900, replacing the College Street Fire Station. Central Fire Station comprised a fire station, drill yard, workshops, gymnasium, admin office and rent free accommodation including the Firemaster’s house, single men’s billets and houses for families - all with laundry facilities and hot water for one shilling a week. There were even playground facilities for children of the station.

  • How Historic and Current Wildfire Experiences in an Aboriginal Community Influence Mitigation Preferences

Email: [email protected]; [email protected] BPeavine Me´tis Settlement, Bag #4, High Prairie, AB, T0G 1E0, Canada. Email: [email protected] CCorresponding author. Present address: Canadian Forest Service, Northern Forestry Centre, 5320 122 Street, Edmonton, AB, T6H 3S5, Canada. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Peavine Me´tis Settlement is located in the boreal forest in Northern Alberta, Canada. The objective of this paper was to explore how different wildfire experiences in an Aboriginal community influence wildfire mitigation preferences at the residential and community levels. Residents of Peavine had varying experiences with wildfire over an extended period of time including traditional burning, firefighting employment and bystanders. Despite these different experiences, participants still implemented or supported wildfire mitigation activities, although for differing reasons depending on experience type. Participants were found to have implemented or supported wildfire mitigation activities on the settlement, including their own properties and public land. Experience type influenced why wildfire mitigation had been implemented or supported: primarily wildfire risk reduction (firefighters), primarily aesthetic benefits (bystanders) and for both aesthetic benefits and wildfire risk reduction (historic traditional burners). The extensive fire experiences of residents at Peavine Me´tis Settlement have provided insights into how experience influences mitigation preferences.

Cover As I sit to write remarks for this newsletter edition, I cannot help but reflect back approxi- mately 20 years ago when members of our department responded to the Oklahoma City bombing as members of VA-TF2. April 19, 2015, will mark the 20 year anniversary of this event and it certainly made a mark on this organization, as well as the entire country. On April 19, 1995, at 9:02 a.m., a truck bomb exploded on the north side of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The blast tore a nine-story hole in the building, causing a major collapse and fire in the building, adjacent buildings, and the parking areas around the building. This explosion killed 168 people, including 19 children who were in the day care center in the building. The blast injured 650 people and damaged or destroyed some 300 buildings in the area. On June 2, 1997, Timothy McVeigh was convicted on all 11 counts against him concerning the bomb- ing and he received the death penalty on August 14, 1997.
