- It is well-known in the brigade here that the first fire cover in East Wittering was provided by two brothers in the village and the Saturday Weekly News on 2nd. Nov. 1935 included a photo and article appealing for secondhand uniforms and equipment so that Jack and Jim Steel could keep going. Exact location unknown, but it looks like a domestic garage

- Before current fire station built in 1947, the fire engine was kept in shed near the village hall, and before that, it was kept in the open
