The post world war 2 Burnley Fire Brigade consisted of 1 fire station covering just 7 square miles of area, hence cap badges for this small brigade which disbanded in 1974 are in demand by cap badge collectors for original badges. Formed in 1948 after the N.F.S ( National Fire Service ) handed back fire control to regional county & county borough fire brigades.This cap badge manufactured by Mike Trueman Badges of Birmingham is in excellent condition. The enamel centre fixed to the standard fully pressed Home Office star by 2 straps, both cap fixing lugs intact to the rear of the badge.
