Warwickshire fire service was created in 1948 [1] by the Fire Services Act 1947 and was originally known as Warwickshire Fire Brigade.
Warwickshire fire service never covered Coventry or Birmingham which had fire brigades of their own. In 1974 it lost area to the newly created West Midlands Fire Service.
On 2 November 2007, a large fire at a vegetable warehouse (operated by Wealmoor Ltd) in the village of Atherstone on Stour killed 4 Warwickshire Fire And Rescue Service firefighters, Ashley Stephens, Darren Yates-Badley, Ian Reid, (who died in hospital), and John Averis. [2] A petition [1] has been set up to ask the local authority to remember them with an appropriately located monument.
