The Fireman's Chain

The fireman's chain. They would take leather buckets of water up the chain and throw it on the fire, and then bring the buckets back down to the water and go back up. The reason that they couldn't do this the outbreak of the fire, was judo in action by the then lord mayor of the town - Thomas bluodworth. He didn't give the fire brigade or the fire fighters permission to pull down any of the surrounding houses. And he apparently said, pish a woman could pice it out. A very famous, very famous exaltation. Is that a good word? A ve a.
