Edit. The Auxiliary Fire Service was formed in 1938. It supplemented the work of local brigades. It was superseded in August 1941 by the National Fire Service. Members of the AFS were unpaid part-time volunteers, but could be called up for whole-time paid service if necessary.

My father served in the Fire Service in Birmingham in the second world war, all I know is that his job prevented him from going to war and that he was a part time fireman as well. I would like to try and find out about his service at that time, is there any way I can!! At the time they lived in the Saltley/Alum Rock area of Birmingham
