About the Book
1941 was a year of fire service revolution - the end of the local fire brigades that had protected the provinces from fires and their largely apathetic local authorities for decades were merged in to the National Fire Service. As the war developed the reasons why became clear and unavoidable, but it wasn't to be an easy process for the Island or its determined firefighters.

Hi, I’m Damon; husband, father, grandfather and a firefighter since 1996. During that time, I have served operationally at Ryde Fire Station, Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service (now Hampshire and Isle of Wight FRS) , initially retained and later as a whole-time member, and have also served in aviation/MoD fire and rescue. Instructional qualifications have enabled me to deliver fire and rescue training in municipal, aviation and maritime sectors over the course of a fascinating career that has now taken me to a full-time position in operational training. My fascination for the service's history began within weeks of joining and is yet to expire. I hope you enjoy my books and be assured that all sales profits are forwarded to the Firefighters Charity (UK). Thank you, Damon.
