Bath City post ww2 had 1 fire station covering 10 square miles of the Bath City area. In 1948 when the NFS ( National Fire Service 1941 to 1947 ) handed back fire control to regional county & county borough fire brigades, Bath was one of those county borough brigades that had a joint fire brigade and ambulance service, at least until 1969 when they seperated and a designated ambulance service, Bath City Ambulance Service was formed with a seperate cap badge. The Bath Fire Brigade was also reformed and lasted until 1974 with its untitled cap badge of the original fire and ambulance service design replacing the joint service titled badge !
This original Bath Fire & Ambulance Service cap badge from the 1948 to 1969 period is in overall good condition with the 2 cap fixing lugs intact to the rear of the badge, the enamel does have 2 very minor chips, one on the title scroll and one at the bottom of the Bath City shield. Otherwise a good and 100% original cap badge
