WILTSHIRE Fire Brigade is warning people of bogus publications which claim to have the brigade's support.

Assistant divisional officer Andrew Hargreaves said salesman were offering advertising space in publications fraudulently claiming to be endorsed by the brigade.

He said: "There are a number of unscrupulous and very aggressive sales persons trying to pressurise local businesses to subscribe to advertising space in calendars, diaries, journals and magazines which they claim are supported by Wiltshire Fire Brigade and it is just not the case."

If in doubt, contact ADO Hargreaves on (01380) 731108.
