Lincolnshire Fire Brigade was formed in 1974 when the Fire Services Act of that year merged all previous smaller county borogh fire brigades into county fire services. Lincolnshire had 37 fire stations covering the new larger area of 2,250 square miles after taking in former brigades of Holland County, Lindsey County, Kesteven County & Lincoln City.
