The Fire Brigade Society’s journal, ‘Fire Cover’, has been published continuously since 1963.

The number of articles and depth of coverage of both historical and modern fire service events is very considerable and is, almost certainly, a unique collection.

For each issue main articles and photographs are listed. As ‘Fire Cover’ was developed and enlarged, regular features, particularly giving news of local events, visits and area activities were included in the pages of the journal. For listing purposes, these are not included here unless they are of particular importance.

Front cover photographs and later, all the photographs reproduced in colour in the journal are noted.

With over 150 photos in each edition of later Fire Covers it is not possible to list every photograph in each issue. However, the number of photographs per article are noted.

Special and Other Publications are available in a separate index.

The listings will be updated on an annual basis after the end of The Society year.

Please pass errors / corrections to the Editorial Team.

The index was compiled by Mike Bunn and Clive Shearman.
