AN expert on the history of the fire brigade is appealing for readers to share their stories.

Clive Shearman, who is a paramedic based at Droitwich Spa's fire station, off Saltway, has published two books on specialist equipment used by firefighters.

He is now gathering information about the county's fire service before the Second World War.

The Droitwich resident is also keen to track down pictures for the book, which he hopes to publish privately.

Call (01905) 776738 if you can help.
