Photographs were taken with a Minolta X-700 35mm SLR film camera, c1985 to c1996, on and around the Worcestershire Beacon, part of the Malvern Hills, at Great Malvern, Worcestershire, United Kingdom.

I am unable to remember the date, let alone the year, as I have lost my notes, but I know it had to be sometime between 1985 to 1996, during the summer. This is because 1985 is the year I got my X-700 and 1996 is the year I moved to a new home.

At that time, I lived with my parents in a top floor apartment, with a view to the Worcestershire Beacon, thus if there was a fire on the hills, I would see smoke. This is when I decided to grab my camera and head up to the hills to try some photojournalism-style photography.

In those days, health and safety rules were a bit lax, there were people still going for walks up and down the hills even when the firefighters were trying to get the fire under control. As far as I can remember, the fire was not too much, not like a big wildfire.

File 2021001-0001: This shows how the firefighting services gets up the Malvern Hills, as the Worcestershire Beacon is one of the few hills with a track leading to the top of the hill. The view is from the peak of the hill, looking down on where the firefighters set up some kind of command and control post.

File 2021001-0007: This is a photo of one of the Hereford & Worcester Fire Brigade firefighters (in those days, referred as fireman before the term was changed when women started joining the fire services) on top of a fire truck. It was hot summer, hence some of the firefighters removed their coats and worked in t-shirts or shirts with sleeves rolled up.

The prints were scanned to the computer, using a Brother A3 multi-function printer/copier/scanner/fax machine.
