The Fire Service

We have twenty strategically placed stations across Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes. They are located at (listed in alphabetical order): Amersham, Aylesbury, Beaconsfield, Bletchley, Brill, Broughton, Buckingham, Chesham, Gerrards Cross, Great Holm, Great Missenden, Haddenham, High Wycombe, Marlow, Newport Pagnell, Olney, Princes Risborough, Stokenchurch, Waddesdon, Winslow. Details about our fire stations and their locations can be found on our ‘About Us‘ page.

A beeping or chirping smoke alarm can indicate a fault with the battery or sensor within it. Although the smoke alarm may continue to work in the short term when the beep is intermittent, the cause of the beeping needs to be investigated and if necessary the smoke alarm should be replaced.

If you are concerned about a possible fire risk, please let us know. Our fire safety inspectors will investigate or give advice as appropriate. Please contact the local fire safety office with as much information as you can. If the concern is serious and outside of normal working hours, dial 999.

When selecting a provider and course, consider any significant findings from your fire risk assessment and your procedures.

As a regulatory authority we are not allowed to provide training or conduct risk assessments as this could lead to a conflict of interest.

We are notified of all building work through this process, so you only need to deal with one point of contact.

You do not need to get permission from the fire service to put on a public firework display. These sorts of events are licensed by the Local Authority, so you do need to contact them, and follow any instructions they give. Sales of fireworks are regulated by Trading Standards.
