We have three Water/Ladder vehicles, an Aerial Ladder Platform, a Heavy Rescue Tender, and Technical Rescue vehicles. Worthing Fire Station (Station 51) is an immediate response station consisting of 5 wholetime duty watches (W/T) and 1 retained duty system (RDS) watch. Constructed in 1962
There are 5 appliances:
51P1 Water Tender Fire Engine WrL
51P2 Water Tender Fire Engine WrL
51P3 Water Tender Fire Engine WrL
51A1 Aerial Ladder Platform ALP
51R1 Heavy Rescue Tender HRT

51P1, 51P2, 51P3, 51A1 and 51R1 are all crewed by W/T and RDS

On The incident logs you may also see some abbreviations
HR = Hose Reel. Water jet used for smaller Fires
BA = Breathing Apparatus Self contained Breathing apparatus
PPV = Positive Pressure Ventilation. Fan used to Disperse Smoke
Hyd = Fire Hydrant

Each W/T watch has a standard shift pattern of 2 days, 2 nights, 6 rota days. This allows the Fire Station to be available on immediate response 24/7. RDS personnel respond to alerters (pagers) 24/7. They must be within 4 minutes away from the Fire Station to respond to emergency calls. Places of possible risk identified in Worthing and Adur

🔥 With the current extreme heat and prolonged dry weather, the risk of wildfires is exceptionally high.

Please help protect our countryside, wildlife and communities by:
❌ Not using disposable BBQs in open spaces
🚬 Disposing of ci******es safely and responsibly
🍾 Taking empty bottles and glass home with you rather than leaving them in the sun

It only takes one spark to start a wildfire. Let's all do our part to prevent fires before they start.
