Full description

These volumes record the Liverpool Fire Station fire brigade unit’s attendance at fires, fire alarm callouts, chemical spills (later classed as hazardous incidents), road accidents, and training exercises. The emergency scene details include the date and time of an emergency call, the caller, fire location, building occupier, business (if applicable), building construction, the supposed cause of the fire, method of extinguishment, and resulting damage. From 1980 onwards the time spent by the fire unit at the scene is noted in terms of the time "in" and "out" with a total time also recorded.

Series Background

The earliest records in this series formed part of Concise Guide Series CGS 530. The series, known as 'Fire record books' was transferred as State archives from the Board of Fire Commissioners in 1977. It comprised the Fire record books of 15 fire stations in various locations throughout New South Wales. Additional records in that series were transferred in 1987 including some Liverpool Fire record books.

When State Records received another 17 volumes of Fire record books for Liverpool Fire Station from the New South Wales Fire Brigades on 7 September 2000, it was considered that both the original order and the creating agency would best be reflected if all of the Liverpool Fire record books were brought together to form a separate series.

Reference to the series may therefore have been recorded in the notes of researchers or in published or unpublished works as CGS 530, described as 'Board of Fire Commissioners Fire record books', or cited by the notation 6/11664 to 6/11668 or 3/13031.
