Well Cruiser (I dont call people old), Im mainly engaged in rescue work in mines, now coal is all but gone, in metal, gold, tin, zinc, salt etc, and get to travel to southern Europe, Ireland, New Zealand plying my trade.
Luckily, accidents and disasters are few and far between these days, but they happen

Im just following my dad, as I mentioned he was at Chesterfield rescue station in the mid to late 60's

Thanks Fly,
trying to put some phots on, but failed so far!
I lived on the station about 65 to 69' when my dad worked there, many fond memories too

opened in 1918, closed somewhere around 1992.
It did have a fire engine until the 60s, but these were for surface fires at collieries, not general fires in Chesterfield.
An identical rescue station was built at a similar time in Ilkeston
