It wasn't until 1938 that local authorities were required to provide a Fire Brigade. Prior to this many towns formed their own volunteer forces. Ramsgate's brigade can be traced back to the mid 1800's when it was under the control of the Borough Police Force. For a more detailed history and pictures dating back over 100 years, click HERE
