In Audlem it is claimed that the
Volunteer Fire Brigade started in 1898, but the first Minute Book suggests that
the first meeting of forty one subscribers took place
at the Crown Hotel on 14 February 1899 when a Committee was formed by J H Bellyse in the
Chair and G U Beeston as permanent Secretary and Treasurer. For an engine shed
“Mr Hassall’s shed was rented for £2 a year. On 28th February the
members of the Brigade numbered 12 with 8 in reserve. A bell was bought and hatchets
for each man. The first call out seems to have been at 2.55 am on 28 April 1899
“when a messenger arrived on a horse from Woore Hall
reporting a rick on fire at the farm”. The Fire Brigade with 400 yards of hose
arrived, pumped the water from a pit on the far side of a ploughed field and
the fire was out by 6.555am. One large and two small stacks were destroyed. (Latham F A, Editor (1997), Audlem, The History of
