Nationwide fire service created during WW2 from the amalgamation of the wartime Auxiliary Fire Service and the many local authority fire brigades. After the war it was split into brigades again under local authority control.
The Firefighters Memorial Trust's website states that the National Fire Service was created on 18 August 1941 and continued in existence until 1 April 1948.
