WHAT IS FIRE HERITAGE NETWORK UK ?
In 2004 the major fire museums, fire heritage collections and fire service enthusiast groups in the country met together to form a new network dedicated to the study and preservation of Britain’s proud fire service history.
Fire Heritage Network UK is not itself a museum, nor is it a society for collectors of memorabilia or old fire engines, or a club for “fire fans,” but it serves to bring together all those existing organisations within the sector, to provide mutual assistance and the ongoing promotion and encouragement of the topic.
Today FHNUK includes amongst its membership the country’s larger fire museums, national fire engine preservation groups and societies dedicated to collecting, studying or researching the history of fire fighting and related subjects.
Whilst support and advice for its member organisations is a prime function of the Network, it also acts as a bridge, linking members of the general public or enthusiasts to individual member groups and providing a unified voice where necessary.
