Fire Brigades Act 1938

Fire Brigades Act 1938

The Fire Brigades Act 1938 (now repealed) was the primary legislation for Great Britain, excluding London that placed responsibility for the provision of a fire brigade on to the local authority, and away from the insurance companies. [ [http://www.london-fire.gov.uk/about_us/our_history/key_dates.asp London Fire Brigade: Key dates (accessed 29 Jan 07)] ]

The Act was only in force for a short time before in 1941 all local authority fire services in Great Britain were transferred to the National Fire Service.

After World War II new legislation was passed and the Fire Services Act 1947 took over as the primary legislation dealing with fire services in Great Britain.
