Buckets, Hooks and Ladders: protecting Elizabethan Hull from fire.


Fire precautions traditionally follow fire disasters, and from the fire precautions ordered by the authorities in Elizabethan Hull we can see what were the usual and exceptional causes of fire in Hull. The precautions dealt with behaviour that could cause fire, control of flammable structures and material, and provision of supplies for fighting any fires that did break out. Improved safety costs; so we have fines for breaches, and subsidies for compliance.
