Abstract

In the early 19th century, the level of Hungarian industry lagged behind that of developed states. As a result of rapid development, by the end of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century, the domestic tech nical and natural sciences showcased significant successes through the outstanding activities of the defining industrialists and engineers of the era. The rapid urbanization posed new challenges in the operation of large cities, ensuring security, and fire protection. Responses to these challenges could only be provided by professionals who were excellently pre pared with both technical and firefighting knowledge, such as Kornél Szilvay, who dedicated his entire life to improving the efficiency of firefighting.
