Abstract
TEN papers on methods of fire prevention and kindred subjects appear in this volume, which represents the first fruits of the establishment of the British Fire Prevention Committee. The papers call attention to the need for increased protection from fire by preventive measures, wider knowledge of methods of fire-combating, investigations of materials and forms of construction, and research into the causes of fires. They should thus be the means of imparting very useful knowledge, and obtaining active support for the movement for better preventive measures against fire, which led to the formation of the Committee under whose auspices this volume has been published.
