The fire service in Hay-on-Wye became an official uniformed service in 1895. In 1901 the service replaced their hand pump with a new horse-drawn Shand Mason fire engine equipped with a steam powered fire pump which they named 'The Firefly'. This model was made by W.I.F. Lewis and presented to Hay Library in 1976. Daeth y gwasanaeth tân yn y Gelli Gandryll yn wasanaeth mewn lifrai swyddogol yn 1895. Yn 1901, disodlodd y gwasanaeth eu pwmp llaw â pheiriant tân newydd Shand Mason a dynnid gan geffyl. Roedd y cyfarpar yn cynnwys pwmp tân wedi'i bweru gan stêm a enwyd ganddynt yn 'The Firefly'. Gwnaed y model hwn gan W I F Lewis a'i gyflwyno i lyfrgell y Gelli yn 1976.
