Roger Mardon contributes: This is a Dennis Ace that was new to Chigwell Urban District Council Fire
Brigade, Essex, in May 1936. It would have passed into the National Fire
Service (NFS) on 18 August 1941 when the fire service was nationalised.
After the war the service was returned to local authority control and in
England and Wales the 146 counties and county boroughs became the new fire
authorities, effective from 1 April 1948 when for some reason DPU 15 joined
the fleet of Lancashire County Fire Brigade.
I believe the appliance went out of service in 1955 so we can conclude that
your picture was taken between 1948 and 1955.
