OXFORD firemen and women gathered for a photocall, with turntable ladders in the background.
The picture was taken in Gloucester Green on a misty Sunday morning early in 1945.
In the other picture, also dating from the Second World War, fire personnel are pictured outside the brigade offices in Belsyre Court, off Woodstock Road.
The pictures come from Theresa Prickett, of Elsfield Road, Old Marston – both she and her husband Hector worked for the National Fire Service.
