Together with other fires of the era, this provided the imperative for a municipal fire service. While Captain James Robert Ingram\u2019s name is associated with the \u2018Whiskey Fire\u2019 of 1875, there were many other significant fires, including the destruction of Dublin\u2019s Theatre Royal. This all occurred in a time when a new scientific approach to firefighting was taking shape, thanks to the pioneering writing of James Braidwood, influenced by the Great Fire of Edinburgh. This episode explores the emergence of modern firefighting, and how Edinburgh and London paved the way for what followed in Dublin.
