In 1871 the initial purchases of the Ilford Fire Brigade which consisted of leather hoses for
firefighting were made and 7 years later in 1884 a fire escape ladder was purchased. The
appliances were kept at the Red Lion, Ilford Hill.
The volunteer fire-brigade was formed in 1890 and in 1893 a Fire Station was built in Oakfield
Road and the following year a steam fire engine, was purchased. Two sub Fire stations were
opened in Horns Road and Cranbrook Road, and in 1905 a new central fire station was opened in
Ley Street.
