History fills our human need for tales about our community and about the things that we have done. Understanding the service of today involves accurately recalling history. History can offer potential solutions to current problems and help guide and direct us when solving them.
History is every bit as fantastic and as exciting as a novel.
Join us in preserving our history and telling the stories of the London Fire Department.
