Blackburn Fire Brigade post ww2 came into force in 1948 after The N.F.S ( National Fire Service ) handed back fire control to regional county & county borough fire brigades. Blackbur was a small brigade with just 1 fire station covering 13 square miles of the surrounding area & lasted until 1974 when a new Fire Services Act amalgamated all previous county borough fire brigades in county brigades. Blackburn became part of Lancashire Fire Brigade.
