Fordbridge fire station

There are 25 fire stations in Surrey. Each one has a range of vehicles and equipment on site to deal with fires, road traffic collisions, water rescues and other emergencies.

Following extensive searches within the core boundary area the Staines Road West A site at Ashford was selected as providing the optimum available location. The project involved the collaboration of major stakeholders from the Highways Agency, Local Authority, the Fire Brigade and local residents. The Fire Station was built upon an undeveloped and unoccupied area of grassland with scattered individual trees in order to address the need for emergency services requirements. The team provided full services on a traditionally procured contract. As well as the internal requirements, SFRS required an area of hard standing for operational training scenarios and a Drill Tower and Rescue House was also required with the ability to replicate various fire and rescue scenarios for training.
