I don't know about the works fire service in later years but in the 50's and early 60's the Bullough's Fire service was housed at the bottom of Fountain Street and the fire engine although secondhand was not all that old. Some of the members of the team were also retained firefighters at Accrington Fire Station and I remember reading in the Observer that the team had come first in some competition or other.
