A piece of fire brigade history
Mr W.A. Reilly, who is in charge of the Watford District of the Herts Fire and Ambulance Brigade, pictured with a painting he has just finished of the Watford Fire Brigade returning from a call to Hunton Bridge in 1910.
He painted the picture from a photograph.
Mr Reilly is presenting the picture to the brigade for their new headquarters at Hertford where, with other articles given to the brigade over the years, it will help to presrve the links with the past and illustrate the grat advances made in equipment and fire fighting techniques.
[From the Watford Observer of September 15, 1967]
