As well as a base for the fire appliance and crew, Marlow is also a base for some other departments with BFRS. Sharing the building are our Forensic Fire Investigation Team, and The South Fire Safety Team. The station also hosts some other agencies, and also located here are HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service), and the Red Cross FESS vehicle (Fire and Emergency Support Services).
Incident Area/Reach/Serving
Sitting just south of High Wycombe, Marlow routinely responds into the Town to support crews there. Similarly, the crew can often be called south to support colleagues from Royal Berkshire. The station is just a few minutes from the M40, so also has excellent road links east towards Beaconsfield and London, and west towards Oxfordshire.
Special Equipment
The station has two appliances: a Rescue Pump, which is crewed by a minimum of four firefighters, and an OSU (Operational Support Vehicle), which is crewed by a minimum of two firefighters. The OSU can be deployed to provide specialist equipment to an incident that a standard fire appliance does not carry.
Drill Nights
Drill nights take place on a Monday evening at 19:00 where crew will be ensuring their skills and knowledge are up to date and they are ready to respond to emergencies.
