Ramsbury Fire Station

20/10/2026

Last night, the crew popped along to Westlea Fire Station for a BA (breathing apparatus) training session.

Facilitated by our training centre team, it was a good change of venue for our crew who are less familiar with the layout - perfect for training.

If you are considering joining us as a paid on call firefighter, get in touch today and find out more details.

We are also on station every Monday evening between 7-9pm for anyone who would like to call in for a chat and a brew to discuss more about joining.

This week for our training night, we headed over to Swindon Fire Station to practice some ladder pitches at a different venue.

A change of venue is always welcomed to give our crew a little variety from our own station.

Remember, we are now recruiting for more on call firefighters to join and help protect your community.

We thank all those who supported our station to remain open but we are asking for your help again to help protect our community by joining us.

If you live or work locally (or from home) you could give cover from the comfort of your home or place of work (responding by a pager when required).

You get paid, fully trained and be part of a team.

Contact us today or pop along Monday evenings between 7-9pm.

Please help us to help you, please park to allow a fire engine pass.

🚒ARE WE GETTING THROUGH?🚒

Yesterday while attending an incident, our water carrier (56W1) was temporarily unable to pass down a road because of how a vehicle was positioned.

The driver did eventually move the vehicle which we are thankful for.

We urge anyone who parks on any public highway, to consider the gap you are leaving is big enough for a fire engine to get through.

If it gets us through🚒, an ambulance🚑 and police🚓 vehicle can also pass.

Wiltshire Police

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust

DWFireRescue

Royal Wootton Bassett & Cricklade Police

Please stay safe
