Norfolk Fire Museum

Norfolk Fire Museum Norfolk Fire Museum's collection is now housed near Long Stratton after many years at the old RAF Co

Norfolk Fire Museum grew out of the old Norfolk Fire Service Historical and Preservation Society and still has very close links with Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service. It is though, a charity and all work is carried out by volunteers. The basis of the collection at present is Local Authority Fire Brigades. This is now being extended to celebrate all fire fighting in Norfolk and we would appreciate rec

eiving any artifacts or information relating to RAF, MOD or Works Fire Brigades that operated in Norfolk. We have now obtained a lease on a unit in Market Gates Shopping Centre in Gt Yarmouth and are busy setting up displays with a view to opening early in 2021.

Earlier this week Norfolk Fire Museum helped es**rt retired Leading Firefighter Arthur Peck on his final journey. Arthur, a proud family man, was based at Harleston and fitted in his firefighting duties around a number of jobs before going self employed.

Arthur joined the crew at Harleston in 1961 and served for 32 years attending countless incidents across the county before retiring in 1993. With the fire service in his blood, retirement didn't stop Arthur from riding fire engines, as he brought his own and spent many years with his son Tim, restoring different fire engines and enjoyed taking them to many shows across the local area.

Arthur can be seen in the centre of the black and white image which was taken at a large exercise at Shotesham Hall in the early 1970s and much later in the grand ring at Weeting Steam Rally

Rest in peace Arthur

A number of people living nearby were evacuated as crews from the City of Norwich Fire Brigade dealt with the fire. Its believed that this was the first incident where the new hydraulic platform had been used.
