[edit] Article title

It's called the History of fire brigades but it's opening line says it's a history of firefighting. Why? I propose moving it to the history of firefightingEscaper7 13:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I believe it should be moved as well. I will also make this article a priority for cleanup. --Daysleeper47 13:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Count me as a second. I'd also like to see some actual history of fire-fighting methodologies; that is how I got here. Bucket brigades, I guess? I'm curious about it. --mordicai. 05:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Link needs to be fixed

[[James Braidwood]] should be changed to [[James Braidwood (firefighter)|James Braidwood]], so that the link leads to the relevant article rather than to a disambiguation page. Tried to fix it, but the change wasn't accepted. 24.178.228.14 (talk) 18:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
