Along with discovering some of the technological developments which have influenced fire-fighting, visitors were able to discover heroic stories of bravery and the human stories behind some of the major incidents which have occurred in the county’s history. The exhibition touched upon some of the more obscure aspects of local fire-fighting history, including a troupe of fire-fighting scouts, a famous fire-fighting vicar and the story of how an obscure family pet caused a local mansion to go up in flames.
