ref. 1063316 November 1818; Union Office Norwich. Folio 2 pp. On the rectos of the two leaves of a bifolium. On laid paper watermarked 'Gilling & Allford 1816'. Text clear and complete. Good on lightly-aged paper. The first page contains a letter addressed to 'General Hall' from 'Union Office Norwich 16th Novr. 1818' forty lines long and signed 'J Crowe'. The second page is headed 'Norwich Union Life Insurance Society Statement of the particulars of the misconduct of the Secretary Mr Thos Bignold Senr.' It contains a six-point indictment of Bignold totalling thirty-seven lines. The habitually aggressive and contemptuous behaviour of the founder of the Norwich Union is described in Thomas Bignold's entry in the New DNB where the background to this item is explained as follows: 'By 1818 Norwich Union had recruited 70000 fire policyholders by applying the mutual principle on a massive and unprecedented scale. But claims had also increased after 1815 and were threatening bonuses during the post-war recession. . rivals were paying up quietly while tightening up on underwriting. Bignold did neither and legal costs rose while new business slumped. Rather than sink with their intransigent father his sons backed Norwich Union's directors and took over.' On 30 December 1817 Hall had chaired a meeting at the Mansfield Moot Hall founding the Local Committee of the Mansfield District of the Norwich Union. The present circular informs Hall that he will be receiving a 'Copy of the Report of the London Committee appointed to investigate the charges lately preferred against the Societies in the London District'. Bignold's conduct is described as 'indecorous & reprehensible and the Directors are well assured that nothing but his being displaced from both Departments will preserve the credit of the Institution or satisfy the minds of the Insured'. Hall is asked to add his signature 'to those which you will find already at the foot of the form of removal'. The points against Bignold on the second page include having 'vexatiously & wantonly arrested Mr C. A. Hacket one of the Society's Agents for a large sum of Money viz. £2500 upon an Affidavit that the said C A Hacket was indebted to him in that sum for money had and received for his use altho' the Directors are assured that the said C A Hacket had had no transactions with he said Thos Bignold but as the Agent of this Society'. Bignold is also accused of 'Having by litigiousness intemperate & improper conduct in his official capacity entirely forfeited the confidence & good opinion of the public'. Bignold subsequently set up a range of strange businesses including the manufacture of shoes with revolving heels went backrupt and spent sixteen months in King's Bench prison. 16 November 1818; Union Office, Norwich. unknown

Without central control or regulation many urban authorities had developed separate independent fire-fighting arrangements without regard to neighbouring authorities. The Royal Commission on Fire Brigades and Fire Prevention was instituted to examine the problems this caused and to make recommendations for improvement. The Commission made many recommendations including that the Home Office should become the central co-ordinator a recommendation which was not formally enacted until 1938. The Report constitutes a thorough and detailed examination of fire brigades and together with the Minutes of Evidence transcripts of all the Commission's examination of witnesses form the most comprehensive snapshot of fire-fighting arrangements.

1951ref. 36827New York NY: The National Board of Fire Underwriters 1951. 1951. Very good. - Quarto 11 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide. Softcover bound in stapled white wrappers titled and illustrated in black on the front cover. The covers are soiled and creased with a short slit to the head of the spine. 25 pages printed on glossy paper with textual illustrations and full-page diagrams and maps. Very good. Sometimes known locally as Black Friday the September 21 1951 explosion of natural gas in a vault housing gas regulators in the Meadowbrook neighborhood of Brighton NY claimed the lives of two children and an adult while totally destroying 15 homes seriously damaging another 16 and causing damage to another 23 homes in this Rochester NY suburb. Another 38 people were injured. It is believed that a flare lit by workers repairing the sidewalk near the vault touched off a gas leak which through a series of unexpected consequences caused a manhole cover to fly off and strike the regulator's mechanism forcing it fully open. The excessive gas pressure caused pilot lights in nearby homes to shoot up turned on gas furnaces and released gas into the homes. The resulting explosions flattened and damaged homes across several streets. The report concludes with a list of suggestions and practical changes which should be implemented to avoid further such disasters.
