In the line of fire: the history of firefighting in Poreč, is a monograph that through its 254 pages brings a section of chronological history about voluntary and professional fire service in the Poreč territory, from the 19th century to the present day, as well as a list of all firefighters being part of it. It is a pioneering work in the field of the history of fire service in Poreč and in Istria region, since the topic has been completely unexplored in the Istrian historiography.
