This book chronicles the 75-year history of the New South Wales Fire Brigade Employees' Union, from its inception in 1911. It explores the union's pivotal role in improving the wages, conditions, and job satisfaction of firefighters, as well as advancing fire protection within the community.

Through interviews with officials and members, alongside meeting minutes and union journals, the book pieces together the union's journey. It examines the battles fought with the Board of Fire Commissioners, the struggles for better conditions, and the evolution of the union's role in Australian society.

Discover the story of a union that was never passive, but actively sought to improve the lives of its members and the safety of the community. This is a record of their work and achievements.
