Notes below which was posted on our facebook Site:
HUMMER Siren would sound when tenders left the station when being tested on Sunday mornings plus to call reserves to training.
Mosborough Fire Service Crews have always served Mosborough well and have been part of our community, by having
Carol Services at Christmas, also New Year Parties, plus helping safety education. Apart from of course attending incidents, some at risk to themselves.
There many skills also came to light when a scrapped fire tender from the late `700’s was found In a Stoke On Trent scrap yard, this saw “Green Watch” restore the SUN FIRE OFFICIO 1710 TENDER back to working order after 100 years.
The fire Tender now sits in the Sheffield Emergency Services Museum in Sheffield. a testiment to them preserving
part of the Fire Services Rich History. The lads at Mosborough Fire Station restored a hand operated fire fighting water pump in 1985 after it was found in 1983. It was in poor condition in a scrap yard in Stoke-on-Trent. The hundred year old pump can be found in the Police, Fire & Ambulance Museum, Sheffield. Well worth a visit.
