To mark the brigade's 150th anniversary, a touring photography exhibition, using stills from the archives, will be taking to the road to give members of the public a chance to see some rare images.
The 28 images, all taken by brigade photographers, reveal how equipment, stations, firefighting methods and the workforce have all changed and developed since the brigade was first established during the Victorian era.
