Newton Abbot Fire Station 3.79

Newton Abbot Fire Station is located on The Avenue and covers the towns of Newton Abbot, Denbury, East & West Ogwell, Abbotskerswell, Ippelpen and Kingsteignton whilst supporting surrounding areas across Devon.

The station is a retained "on call" 2 pump fire station with an EPU (Environmental Protection Unit)

We currently have 21 personnel - 2 Watch Managers, 4 Crew Managers and 15 Fire Fighters.

Being "on call" means that we are not on the station 24 hours a day. We are contacted by a pager that every on call firefighter carries on their person.

So when a '999' call comes in, all crews are alerted by Fire Control to attend the station, from either their homes or place of work. Details of the incident are given via a turnout sheet.

Each Monday evening we attend the station, between 19:00 and 21:00 for weekly training. This is known as a drill night.
