The Fire Service in Larkhall was first manned by volunteers, but the police took over their duties in 1901 and used the building next to the Police Station to house the Fire Engine. This setup continued until the Second World War when a retained unit was created in Larkhall and part-time firemen answered the call to tackle blazes.
Sub Officer Joseph Stead received the B.E.M. in 1980
