1910 - A letter was read to a Parish Council meeting indicating that Richmond Fire Serevice' would only be available in a few parishes on a subscription basis. It was decided not to subscribe. The Clerk was instructed to write to Squire Wharton asking him if he was willing to assist in providing means in case of fire.
1911 - A reply from W.H.A.Wharton, Esq. was read 'respecting the providing of hose-pipe in case of fire'. This was considered inadequate andit was decided to write direct to Richmond Fire Brigade asking their terms - if called upon.
1912 - A letter was read from Mr.W.Foster respecting the Richmondshire Fire Brigade ' whose services the Parish might have in case of fire, on an annual subscription of £3.3.0d and by paying the ordinary charges in the event of a call being made in accordance of the scale on page 4 of a copy of the rules sent to Council.' It was proposed that 'the question of Fire Brigade be left over for consideration of cost.'
1913 - The Council decided they 'could not see their way to subscribe to the Fire Brigade.'
1941 - A special meeting was held in the School Room to discuss the formation of fire fighting parties at the request of the Rural District Council. Although not compulsory, it was regarded as essential that these parties be formed. Nine were formed, each one being allotted its part of the village. Twelve additional names were given for fire watching should this ever be called upon to be done.
