Also personnel files for individual staff members. Personnel files survive for personnel who worked for the Middlesex County Council Fire Brigade Department and who resigned from the service before the 31st March 1965. The personnel files of regular, uniformed staff who transferred from the Middlesex Brigade, in particular to the new London Fire Brigade in 1965, were passed onto their new employers at the time and do not survive in the MCC archive. The same applies to files of Auxiliary Fire personnel. Files concerning regular firemen have been kept in their entirety, apart from those for staff born before 1900 or whose deaths (not occurring at work) were reported in the files. Please note access to these files is restricted.
