A1: Brigade Network is the brainchild of Colin Bennett a professional photographer and Retained Firefighter since 1993.

A2: Use this field to select the simplest way of describing your service. Examples are: Plumber, Electrician, Photographer, Carpenter, Domestic Appliance Engineer, Web Designer etc.

A3: If you are not familiar with photo or image software, don't worry its more important to keep the file size small and we will resize your images if necessary.

To check the file size, right click your mouse and select properties. This will show you amongst other things the file size, as long as the size is below 500kb you should be ok.

If it is over 500kb you will need to resize the image, when you resize it try and resize to 250 pixels or less in width, it will definitely be below 500kb if you do that we will do the rest.
