Meet your local fire team!
Posted By Susie on August 25, 2009
Some of the team from Redhill Park Fire Station will be joining us at the Vintage Fayre with one of their engines.
Redhill Park is the local fire station for Winton. There are four whole time watches at Redhill that work 24/7. Each watch has eight fire fighters and normally five fire fighters on station at any one time. The others would be working at other stations in Dorset or be on training courses or annual leave.
Currently the fire appliance from the station attends around 1500 incidents per year. These calls cover a whole spectrum from house fires to heath fires and road traffic collisions.
There are three vehicles kept at the station - one frontline appliance that is available 24 hours a day 365 days per year, a spare appliance that is available to replace any that need repair in the county and an operational support vehicle which carries additional equipment and internal deliveries around the county.
Make sure you say hello to your local fire crew at the Vintage Fayre!
