At the start of the Second World War one of three Auxiliary Fire Service Fire Stations in Canterbury was established at Maltby’s Garage on the New Dover Road. In mid September, a petrol pump and tank here were reserved for Auxiliary Fire Service use. Later a store was constructed, for protective clothing, and a telephone extension provided to a dug-out on the premises. Part of the garage buildings were adapted, and the Emergency Committee ordered that whole of the glass windows and roof should be painted with black-out paint –not just the bit used by the Auxiliary Fire Service.
