This is the page for Long Buckby Retained Fire Station, located in Northamptonshire. Please

This is the page for the Long Buckby Retained Fire Station, based in Northamptonshire. The Retained duty system means that the Crew Managers and FireFighters at Long Buckby are called in on alerters, responding locally from their place of work or their homes. The Wholetime Stations & System differs as they constantly have members of staff on Station, with set working shift patterns designed to cover 24/7. Our Station currently has 1 Fire Appliance & 1 IIV (Initial Intervention Vehicle). The IIV is designed for rapid intervention across a wide variety of incidents, in hope to respond quicker than a traditional Fire Appliance. Our Fire Appliance requires a minimum of 4 staff whereas the IIV can respond to certain incidents with 2. We drill every Thursday 19:00-22:00 so please feel free to pop in during those hours if you have any questions or queries. We ARE currently recruiting for RDS Firefighters at Long Buckby, please see the link below for more information. https://www.northantsfire.gov.uk/on-call-firefighters-3/

With the warmer summer weather, water may look inviting, but the temperature of the water can be low enough to cause 'Cold Water Shock'.
Parents - make sure your children are aware of the dangers about jumping in, things can quickly go wrong, even for strong swimmers:

- Cold water shock
- Hidden hazards under the surface
- Strong currents and unseen forces
- Shallow or changing depths
- Impact injuries from height (tombstoning)

Make sure they know what to do if someone gets into trouble in the water:
❌ Don’t jump in
✅ Call 999
✅ Use something to help from the side (ball, stick, life ring)

Remember: Float to Live if you fall in unexpectedly.
