Kingswood Memories: February 2026

Warmley Auxiliary Fire Service 

The Auxiliary Fire Service performed an important role across the country both during the Second World War, and when the Service was reformed in 1948 alongside the Civil Defence Corps. 

The picture (undated) features the Warmley Auxiliary Fire Service at their head-quarters in Stanley Road, Warmley. From here they were called out on a “Shout” wherever needed, including during the Bristol Blitz and to fires and events much further afield
