Description - Long Dave Fanning's boyhood dream was to become a
firefighter. Here are tales of a lost era of fire fighting using a
hook and ladder to climb from one floor to the one above, where
health and safety concerns for firefighters were not at the
forefront, and where new forms of fire training were developed by
him and his team. These are the stories of a legacy of firefighting
in Liverpool, England, in an era that had challenges of the sort no
longer faced by firefighters today. This was a time when more than
700 ships a week offloaded their often highly volatile cargoes in
the docks of the River Mersey. It was a time when firefighters had
to master the use of the hook and ladder to enter buildings ablaze,
and when little regard for Health and Safety saw them wearing what
were no more than the equivalent of gardening gloves as they
undertook their duties. It is in this context that Dave Fanning
brings us his memories of leading firefighting on Merseyside.
Poignant, funny, and full of down-to-earth detail and valuable
lessons for any leader of people, these stories bring to life the
Liverpool of the 1970s, 80s and early 90s, with humour and insight
typical of the people on Merseyside.
