- The Fleet Volunteer Fire Brigade, formed in 1900, had no pumps, the hoses being connected directly onto the main water supply. They were carried in a horse and cart, the horse being borrowed from the milkman when required. The firemen, resplendent in their smart uniforms and shining brass helmets, cycled to the scene of the fire.
