Wheathampstead Fire Station An on-call fire station in the village of Wheathampstead and part of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service.

Staffed by fire fighters who live and work in the village, dedicated to keeping their community safe. Wheathampstead Fire Station is crewed by paid members of the local community who are on call and respond to a pager when a 999 call comes in. These men and women do exactly the same job as a full time fire fighter but instead of being based on a fire station, they live or work within 4 minutes of the fire station and are available at mutually convenient time to keep our fire engine "on the run". We are always looking for new members of the team so do pop down to the fire station on a Tuesday evening for an informal chat if you are interested. We'll pay you a retaining fee for carrying the pager and then we'll pay you £14.51 per hour once you've passed all your training and become a competent fire fighter. You don't need to be super fit and strong, but you'll need to pass a physical test and you'll need to have a basic maths and english understanding, as long as you're over 18 we'd love to hear from you. Message us for more information, come along and meet the team on a Tuesday evening from 7:00PM - 10:00PM at the fire station or take a look at https://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/services/fire-and-rescue/jobs-in-fire-and-rescue/on-call-firefighter-jobs.aspx

Two firefighters from Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service will be heading to New York later in the month to take part in the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk. The event honours the firefighters, emergency workers and civilians who lost their lives during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
We're incredibly proud of Mark ‘Budge’ Burgess and Lee Campbell for representing Hertfordshire and standing alongside thousands of people from around the world to remember those affected by that tragic day. To contribute to their fundraising efforts please visit: https://orlo.uk/5BnPv

This was a fire in a loft space caused by an electrical fault, we used 2 BA wearers and a hose reel to extinguish the fire, a safe ending for all.
