Description: For a hundred and fifty years, Eastbourne operated its fire service. From the early days of hand pumps through to horse-drawn steam fire appliance to motor-driven engines. The service kept up to date with the development of fire fighting techniques. Firemen were volunteers, made up of local tradespeople and shopkeepers.
