Fires In Theatres is a book written by Eyre Massey Shaw and published in 1876. The book is a comprehensive study of the various fires that have occurred in theatres throughout history, and the measures that have been taken to prevent such disasters from happening again. Shaw, who was a noted fire chief in London, draws on his own experiences and expertise to provide a detailed analysis of the causes and consequences of theatre fires. He examines the various factors that contribute to the outbreak of fires in theatres, such as faulty wiring, overcrowding, and inadequate safety measures. The book also includes a detailed account of some of the most notorious theatre fires in history, including the devastating fire at the Theatre Royal in Exeter in 1887, which claimed the lives of over 180 people. Shaw provides a detailed analysis of the causes and consequences of each of these fires, and highlights the important lessons that can be learned from them. Throughout the book, Shaw emphasizes the importance of fire safety in theatres, and provides practical advice on how to prevent fires from occurring. He also discusses the various measures that can be taken to ensure the safety of theatre-goers, such as the installation of fire alarms, sprinkler systems, and emergency exits. Overall, Fires In Theatres is a fascinating and informative book that provides a unique insight into the history of theatre fires and the measures that have been taken to prevent them.
