Fire Service Preservation Group 50th Anniversary

Join the Fire Service Preservation Group as they celebrate their 50th Anniversary at the British Motor Museum.

This is a special event for the members of the Fire Service Preservation Group, however visitors are welcome to come along to enjoy displays ‘through the ages’ and see vehicles used by the Preservation Group.

Complete your day out and visit the Museum as entry is included in the Show ticket price, giving you the chance to explore the world’s largest collection of historic British cars.

Please note: There will be no 'live flame' demonstrations at this event. This is because the Museum, like much of the country, has experienced unusually hot weather for a substantial period of time and we cannot run the risk of a spark drifting and igniting surrounding land or buildings.

Could you add to the display?

The Preservation Group are looking for as many fire appliances and fire related memorabilia as possible to be on display at this Show. To find out more please visit www.1stdefensefire.co.uk

The history of the Fire Service Preservation Group

The Fire Service Preservation Group was founded in 1968 under the name of the Auxiliary and National Fire Service Preservation Group. Their purpose was to preserve the equipment and appliances of the Auxiliary and National Fire Services, after their disbandment.

After renaming to Fire Service Preservation Group in 1972, they widened their aims to include all aspects of fire service preservation and interest.
