Fires and Fire Fighting on the Canadian Prairies

Filled with archival photographs, Out of the Flames examines the dramatic impact fire had on the settlement of the West and the heroic and tragic stories that arose from smouldering ashes. Faye Reineberg Holt combines personal stories, the history of fire-fighting techniques, urban disasters, fires in mines, oil wells, and slag heaps, fire folklore, and legend in this fascinating account of prairie fires.
