Our Story
It started with mates looking after mates.
Long before the Fund was formalised, injured firefighters were looked after by their colleagues. Under Chief Officer Jock Whyte and Secretary Jack Boyle, that care became the Fire Service Fund in 1936.
Ninety years on, the Fund is run day to day by managers Noel Johnson and Fiona Ward, and overseen by a volunteer Board who give their time to keep it strong for members.
- 1936 The Fire Service Fund is formally established
- 1943 Recognised as a Friendly Society, paying sickness, accident and funeral benefits
- 1980s The Fund begins investing in holiday properties for members
- 1992 The first Fund Manager is appointed
- Today Four coastal properties, two managers and a volunteer Board
