About Crewe Fire Station
Crewe is a wholetime fire station, staffed around the clock by four watches: Red, Green, Blue and White.
In 2024, crews moved into a new zero-carbon fire station, designed to meet modern environmental standards. The site also features a public-access defibrillator (What3Words: crunch.soap.they) and hosts regular safety and training services for the community.
