Thanks so much for sharing this set of films. I was a ten year old lad when this was made and my Dad was a leading fireman (firefighter now, of course) in Cambridgeshire F&RS. There were many similarities, except perhaps the number of turnouts! I recall the Dennis appliances and tunic/legging/helmet variants seen. Loads of nostalgia. Was so very proud of my Dad ❤

thanks for that sparkydave, my father was also in the service so I know where you are coming from, I served in both London and Surrey Brigades.
Liked and shared 👍🏻🚒
As ever, brilliant, well done 👍👍
It brought back any memories, including Thorpe Park. Terrific films, well done Jim.
thanks Mitch.😀
Great set of films. I thought Guildford would've been mentioned though, unless I missed it somewhere?
It is, guess you missed it.Fire in the High Street and Park Barn.
@@MMX1-39MX Just found, thank you. Will show my grandad, a retired firefighter who worked out of there!
I bet they would be more reliant on surrounding Brigades these days in the event of a fifteen Pump Fire
Indeed. Most of the stations shown do not have 2 pumps anymore.
In a time before the LFB dealt with all the fire calls in the North part of Surrey . . . . 🤫
It is cold day today
Shame the two tones were mostly phased out by these time with all the engines associated with having tones now we're stripped
