Summary
COI synopsis: Every year thousands of lives are lost and property worth millions is destroyed by man’s oldest enemy... fire. This Week In Britain visits the world’s top school for firemen where the men who defy death on our behalf learn new ways to cope with the old enemy; and Michele Brown indulges in a bit of fire raising herself.
