- The threat of incendiary bombs during the First World War had led to the formation of a volunteer Special Fire Brigade. In June 1915, the parish council allocated £75 for the purchase of fire fighting equipment, including a handcart, scaling ladders, a hose and canvas buckets. In 1922, the Hadleigh Volunteer Fire Brigade was formed and a building on the London Road was leased for storage of the equipment.

- Opposite what is now Lidl, across the London Road and behind Richardsons Electrical Shop, was Hadleigh’s first Fire Station. The garages, then with a corrugated iron roof, are still there.
