Administrative History	The provisions for firefighting were taken over by the Corporation in 1839. The Corporation were also responsible for licensing cabs, etc, and the two operations were overseen for many years by one committee. This committee met until October 1886, after which there were two separate committees. The minutes of the Fire Brigade Committee continued in the same volume as the Cab and Fire Brigade. The force was reorganised under the provisions of the Fire Service Act 1947. The Act also created the Derbyshire Fire Service (later Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service) and the two brigades were merged following local government reorganisation in 1974.
