Your history

The London Fire Brigade museum holds information on our ex-employees and some staff from organisations that preceded the London Fire Brigade, some of this dates back to the 1860s.

Wartime firefighters' service records

Due to office relocation we are unable to offer a search service for relatives wishing to trace their family’s WWII fire brigade records. This service is expected to be reinstated after April 2008.

The museum is still able to search for records for relatives who served in the London Fire Brigade before 1920. Please contact the museum for information about this service.
