F Pit Fireteam

Here we have some pictures from Keith Hill. He would like to know the names of the rest of the team shown right. Top 2nd from L is brother Eddie, with brother Raymond Bottom R.

Can you name the rest? The team is from Washington 'F' Pit. The caption reads ' Winners 1953/63? For Firefighting'. Canvas hose marked 'Wash F Pit'. Shield & Cup indicating No1 team in competition.

Picture above shows the Hill Brothers at unkown location in Durham County Fire Brigade uniforms. From L-R Raymond, Ken, Eddie & Jim. Possibility of this being at the rear of the Washington Blue House Lane retained station? It can still be seen today just down from the garage.
