What era is this from?
I have had this badge a while and wonder what Fire Service it was worn by and when.
Many thanks in advance. Regards Rob

Can of worms, Rob. I put these in a category of "not fully IDed". Generic fire service / Industrial Fire Service? seems to be no absolute answer.

Fire Service?
Thanks Phil, I thought you may know the answer, these badges seem to have no specific Brigade as far as I can see, maybe earlier than WWII.

Generic Fire Briade badge
Dear Rob, This badge was used by many Borough Police Fire Brigades and Industrial fire Brigades. Sunderland Borough Police Fire Brigade fitted them to the new leather fire helmets when they replaced the brass fire helmet in 1936.
Please find attached 2 images of this taking place. Harry

Generic Fire Brigade badge
Harry,
Many thanks for this information and the superb photos. I expect these brass Generic Fire Brigade badges were worn during WWII by both Borough Police Fire Brigades and Industrial fire Brigades. An item to put on my "Home Front" board. Regards Rob

Industrial Fire Brigades
Of course, AFS and NFS, my mistake. But could these badges have been worn by Industrial Fire Brigades as many companies had there own Fire Services?
