The History of BA in the British Fire Service -1975-1977

The Joint Committee on Fire Brigade Operations met on several occasions to discuss the amendments of the procedures for the operational use of BA and, as a result of recommendations and matters arising in the light of experience since the original procedures were recommended for adoption, a number of recommendations were forthcoming in the form of:-

  1. DEAR CHIEF FIRE OFFICER LETTER 54/1976 outlining the proposed new procedures.
  2. FIRE SERVICE CIRCULAR 9/1977 recommending the adoption of revised procedures which were attached as an appendix.

These were later combined into the

HOME OFFICE TECHNICAL BULLETIN 2/1977 which updated the procedures for the operational use of BA and included a new section on airline equipment.
