The Blitz spirit was in action on February 16th as the owner of a decommissioned fire engine from 1955, took to the streets to help pump out water that flooded into Lowdham homes.
Over night from Saturday 15th February, heavy rain fall led to the Cocker Beck Brook in Lowdham bursting its banks, leaving more than 50 homes submerged in murky flood waters.
To help rid properties of water, David Moore, who re-enacts with the National Fire Service and Auxillary Fire Service Vehicles Group, came into Lowdham with his green machine fire engine.
He purchased the fire engine for just £2,500 and has since used it to help homeowners each time the village floods, including in November last year and back in 2013.
These particular fire engines were originally used to support the British public following the Second World War, and throughout the Cold War in preparation for the possibility of the Soviet Union detonating an atomic bomb.
The Auxiliary Fire Service was disbanded in 1968 and the vehicles were only used by the Armed Forces during firefighters strikes in 1977 and then for flooding up until present.
On the day while he was pumping out water, villagers approached David for thanks and even kindly provided him with money for fuel.
