From ancient Rome to modern London, fire has shaped history through both tragedy and triumph. Witness the Amazon women's fiery vengeance in a woodcut, Londoners banding together during the Blitz, the vibrant Bologna Fireworks, and the Roman aviator Marra's fatal fall. Yet, fire's destructive power is not limited to war or conflict. A timber yard blaze in Hackney, London, showcases the duality of fire as a force of nature, with two types of branches engulfed in flames. Delve into the life of William Cobbett, a man who penned his own story, and revisit a pre-Blitz fire in Hackney. Fire's reach extends beyond human conflict, as seen in the heroic efforts of St Bernards aiding an avalanche victim. Fire's transformative power is a testament to the enduring cycle of life and destruction.
