During World War 2, Fire Brigades were brought under central Government control (nationalised) in 1941 in order to be able to quickly share resources across the UK.
From 1941-1948, all Fire Brigades in the UK wore the same design of NFS (National Fire Service) cap badge.
In 1948, Fire Brigades returned to a regional structure under local authority control and adopted separate designs for the badges of each town and county Fire Service.
In 1974 there was a major re-structure of UK counties and the names of many fire brigades changed as a result.
Most of the badges on our catalogues are from UK town and county fire brigades and date from 1948 to the present day.
