Firestation

Wickhambrook Fire Station is crewed by 'Retained Firefighters”. Our retained firefighters are members of the local community, who have been trained as firefighters, but have full time jobs and work within a short distance of the fire station. There is a huge shortage of retained firefighters nation-wide. Have you ever considered a career as a retained firefighter? We have vacancies at the station for people who can provide cover Monday to Friday during the day. Please find out more about us and how we look after the safety of the community.

J & D Caterers are also available for functions, i.e. have your fish and chip supper cooked and delivered fresh to your entertainment venue - for instance, Fundraising Race Night at the MSC with a Fish & Chip Supper.
