Air Raid Precautions (ARP) records WW2

[Quibell]

Further to my research into my mother, Norma Olive Quibell, born 30/03/1920 in Handsworth, I understand that she was a member of the Air Raid Precautions during the second world war in Birmingham.
Will there be any records relating to individuals in the ARP, showing duties and perhaps specific events. ??I
As before, any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I found Norma Quibell in the 1939 Register - annotated with her married name Mackenzie. But there's no annotation or note about ARP. Her occupation is shorthand typist, so perhaps she took notes at meetings?

Finding individual ARP records I'm afraid is very difficult. There are no national records of individuals available only departmental records. Some Local Authorities kept records, but I can't see anything in the Birmingham Archive Catalogue.

Could I ask how you know your Mother worked in ARP as this may help us find something?

I remember houses with the letter P painted somewhere on the premises being very visible. This enabled neighbours or anyone else to make use of a stirrup pump to make out an incendiary device or small fire.
Maybe this was what was referred to in the original post.
