This Book of Remembrance is designed to remember and to pay tribute to all those within its pages. Hopefully it will serve as a source comfort to those with a personal memory of anyone recorded. 

It is also hoped that it will also serve as a useful source of information for Family History and Fire Brigade History research.

When using the information in this book for research, the following information should be noted:

• Whilst the main listing is for members of the Fire Service who have died in the course of their duties, there are separate listings for those members of the Fire Service who died as a result of Military Service, dating back to the Second Boer War, and for ‘Fire Guards’, and ‘Fire Watchers’ who died as a result of their duties during World War 2.
• Source records may not always show the sequence or personal choice of names as may be recorded on a birth certificate. Alternative choice of name is shown where known.
• Names are recorded using titles and ranks which are historically correct at the time of death, including the use of 'Fireman' and 'Firewoman', rather than 'Firefighter'.
• The London Fire Engine Establishment and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade were the forerunners of the London Fire Brigade.
• Using the keyword 'unknown' to search will list all entries which may have missing information.
• Members of Police Fire Brigades which existed prior to 18 August 1941 will also be found on the Police Roll of Honour website: Police Remembrance Trust.
