Brian Allaway

The years 1969 to 1994 were particularly difficult for Northern Ireland, and what would become known as `the Troubles’ would test the firefighters of Belfast to their limits.This book provides a record of that time from a firefighters perspective, combining thorough research and contemporary records with first hand accounts from people who were involved, bringing these significant events to life through the words of the people who lived through them.
