| When a smoke was detected by the lookout, it was not enough for that person to know; the information had to be conveyed to the person in charge of the fire fighters. Over the years, and in different locations, this could involve a horseback ride, heliograph, carrier pigeon, megaphone, flying a flag; or a lantern, telephone, short wave radio, and other methods. The historical information in these volumes is the culmination of many years of research of original documents by Ron Kemnow for his website, ronkemnow.weebly.com. Also included are many historical photographs. Some of the older photographs and picture postcards are of poor quality, but were included for their historical value. This book is not in narrative form, but is a collection of official reports, letters, and news articles, presented as they were originally written. |
