NFS Information:
I once had the opportunity to borrow the original National Fire Service ledger covering the local area. It listed the full inventory (including appliances, personnel and equipment - down to the last knife, fork and spoon!!) for Sub-Division 2 of Division E in Fire Force 19 (which covered Cornwall and part of Devon). After a lot of work transposing the information, the link below has it all shown in tabulated form.
1941 NFS Inventory - Fire Force 19 - Division E - Sub-Division 2
A vast amount of historical information on Pre-War, NFS and Post War Fire Brigades has been collated by Dave Gormley. He has kindly donated his work to the National Fire Archive at the Fire Service College, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire. Unfortunately, it is not available in electronic form, but all research enquiries should be made to the College.
