The story of the Auxiliary Fire service in Hampshire 1949-1968. Many people are familiar with the fire appliance known as the ‘Green Goddess’ but just as many do not realise its origins and that it was not the only green fire engine. A mixture of fire appliances were built under Government contract to be crewed by the volunteer men and women who formed the AFS which was part of the UK Civil Defence organisation established to be mobilised on any outbreak of war during the ‘cold war’ era. The AFS units were attached to local authority fire brigades and in Hampshire at that time there were 4 separate brigades - Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth and Bournemouth. Although written around the Hampshire Brigades the book contains details and photos of the AFS in general. A4 format consisting of 216 pages and 186 photographs.
