Title: Home Office: Fire Service (FIR Symbol Series) Files
Description:

Files of the Fire Service Department, from the Home Office FIR (Fire Service) symbol series, dealing with the Home Office's responsibilities for the overall supervision and guidance of local authority fire brigades. Subjects covered include the operation of the Fire Service Inspectorate, the recruitment, pay, training and discipline of firemen, fire prevention and emergency planning, and reports on specific fires.

Date: 1941-1982
Arrangement:

The papers are arranged by departmental file number. The inclusion of a date before a file number (as in FIR (1959) 709/1/1) indicates that the year in which the file was created was included in the file reference number. Thus the full departmental reference of a file listed as FIR (1959) 709/1/1 would be FIR 59 709/1/1.
