'Fownhope fire Station covers an area of approximately 32 square miles, with its population living in small villages scattered across a largely rural area. In 1939 Fownhope Fire Station was based at Walworth House and had two sisters who volunteered as firefighters. It is thought that the sisters were the first female firefighters in the village and it wasn’t until 60 years later that another female joined their firefighting team.'
