00:00Firefighters look very different in Sheffield to how they did years ago.
00:05These pictures show the huge changes that we've seen in how the service is operating.
00:12For a start, their uniforms and safety equipment have changed beyond recognition from what they wore in the 1960s.
00:19And the equipment they use has similarly transformed, with the fire engines now used by South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service very different to those that were used decades ago.
00:29And while crews were all male in the 60s, 70s and 80s, the 90s saw women join up.
