The modern day Fire Brigade has evolved following many years of development and improvements since almost pre-history. From the time man discovered fire, he has also battled to control the flames.
The first organised firefighting is believed to have originated in the UK during the Roman invasion in AD43. Even then, fighting fires was often limited to nothing better than buckets of water or simple syringes that squirted water at the fire. Once the Romans left, firefighting took a backward step as communities fell into decline.
During the middle ages many towns and cities simply burned down because of ineffective fire fighting arrangements and because of the building materials used at the time; mainly wood. Following some spectacular losses, some parishes organised basic firefighting, but no regulations or standards were in force. The Great Fire of London, in 1666, changed things and helped to standardise urban fire fighting.

Have tried to make it look like a model, but too close and wrong angle for it to work that well. Oh well.
Yet another attempt at fake tilt & shift, trying to make Cromford into toy town. I still can never tell if its worked or not.
I photographed the LEGO Speed Champions Nissan GT-R NISMO set on some tarmac to see how it looked and here are the results.
