Fire and Rescue Service, Kingston upon Hull
A rudimentary fire-fighting service was first recorded in 1585. In 1836 a unified police service was established, providing rudimentary fire cover. In 1887 a separate Hull Police Fire Brigade was formed within the police force. In 1938 The Fire Brigades Act established a professional fire brigade. Consequential of World War II, all fire brigades came under the National Fire Service in 1941. In 1948 fire brigades reverted to local authority control, when the City & County of Hull Fire Brigade was established. Local government reorganization took place in 1974 when the city’s fire brigade became part of the newly-created Humberside Fire Service. In 1995, when Humberside County Council was abolished, Humberside Fire Authority was established; Humberside Fire and Rescue Service (HFRS) became the statutory fire and rescue service covering the area of what was the county of Humberside: Link
