The present Fulwood Fire Station in 1972.

This Shand Mason horse-drawn steam fire engine dates back to 1880
and is preserved by Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service.
It was seen at the Greater Manchester Fire Extravaganza, Milnrow, 3 September 2005.

This superb picture illustrates one of the two Bedford TK Control Units 279XTB operated by Lancashire and seen 29 June 1986.

Compared with today's Command Units, the interior of the Bedford Control Unit was very simple, but effective.

Most types of appliances have operated here as illustrated by ERF84PF NCW 36P
although it was in use as a reserve at Skelmersdale when this picture taken 19 June 1986.

The first of a second batch of four CFE bodied Bedford KGs, NHG12X was allocated to Colne at the time of this photograph.

Bedford KGs continued to be delivered after the introduction of prefix registrations in 1983/84
A705KHG was the first one numerically to carry HCB-Angus bodywork, rather than CFE as hitheto used.

D101TRN began life here but is seen outside Longridge Fire Station where it was subsequently allocated.
(NP collection ~ courtesy DBB)

At 20 years old, D101TRN still looked smart in the livery of BNFL Springfield Fire & Rescue when seen 22 November 2006.

The second Leyland freighter for this station was G141JFR with bodywork by Reynolds Boughton.
(NP collection ~ courtesy DBB)

Still looking very 'Lancashire', G141JFR is now privately owned and used as a fire appliance at Motor Sports events.
It was seen at Church, 14 March 2008.

The third Leyland here, L164DCW has bodywork by Emergency One.

The proto DAF55 R101NBV was the only such appliance to carry
 the 'Lancashire County Fire Brigade' legend on the side.
Indeed it was itself changed to Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service
before entering service back in 1998.

 Control Unit G500JFR was seen at an incident in Pimbo, 9 August 2006.
It was withdrawn from service in April 2007 and left Lancashire, 8 June 2007.
