🚒 80 YEARS. ONE COMMUNITY. 🚒
For 80 years, the Stoke Volunteer Fire Brigade has been part of this community.
Since 1946, generations of volunteers have answered the call, leaving homes, families, workplaces and everyday life behind whenever Stoke needed them.
The equipment has changed. The trucks have changed. Stoke itself has changed enormously.
But one thing hasn’t changed.
Local people giving their time to help local people.
As we celebrate our 80th year, we want to use the opportunity to share more of the Brigade’s story with the community we serve.
Over the coming months, we’ll be looking back at our history, sharing old photographs and memories, introducing you to the people who make up the Brigade today, taking you behind the scenes at training, and showing you a little more about what it means to be a volunteer firefighter in Stoke.
There are 80 years of stories to tell, and many of them belong just as much to the Stoke community as they do to us.
If you have old photographs, memories or stories involving the Stoke Volunteer Fire Brigade, we’d love to hear from you.
80 Years. One Community. And plenty more stories still to come. 🚒
