The post world war 2 Burnley Fire Brigade consisted of 1 fire station covering just 7 square miles of area, hence cap badges for this small brigade which disbanded in 1974 are in demand by cap badge collectors for original badges. Formed in 1948 after the N.F.S ( National Fire Service ) handed back fire control to regional county & county borough fire brigades, the brigade lasted 26 years until merging into Lancashire County Fire Brigade in 1974
In the late 1980's a few large badge companies produced commemorative boxed set cap badges that formed certain county fire brigades. These badges were manufactured using original obsolete centres & fixing them to modern Home Office stars which were being used by the companies at the time. The boxed county sets were produced in limited numbers & also a badge list of available spare badges was produced known as "The 89 to 91 Badge List badges". 
This cap badge is a Jeeves Badge Company of Liverpool manufactured badge & is a lugged boxed set cap badge manufactured in the late 1980's by Jeeves who had the contract to manufacture the Lancashire County Boxed Sets. The badge is in good condition, the enamel centre fixed to the standard fully pressed Home Office star by a thin brass pin, both cap fixing lugs intact to the rear of the cap badge. The Jeeves stamp mark clearly impressed on the rear of the Home Office star.
