Peterborough volunteer firefighters through the years

The Peterborough Telegraph is today running a feature on the Peterborough Volunteer Fire Brigade - the only volunteer force in the country.

As the brigade asks for more volunteers to step forward, we have delved through our old photos to showcase its work through the years. The feature can be read on the PT’s website.
