    Default Auxiliary Fire Service

    Could anyone point me in the right direction to find any information on my father who was in the AFS. I know his service number and where he was in the Manchester Blitz but have been unable to find anything more about his service. Any help appreciated.

    The Auxiliary Fire Service was subsumed into the National Fire Service in 1941. My understanding is that when the service reverted to local authority control, the records passed to the county brigades.

    I would try Manchester Archives or Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service.
