History
Dorset fire and rescue service was formed by mainly volunteer brigades after more services across the United Kingdom began to form. In it's early days, the service was owned by local county councils. Between the years of 1948 and 1974, the FRS had eighteen part-time stations and three full time stations, this however has changed in more recent years. The borough of Bournemouth and the borough of Christchurch became part of the county of Dorset, therefore merging in to the Dorsets' fire and rescue service.[1] A fire station is a building or other area set aside for storage of firefighting apparatus i. ...
Stations The service now has a total of twenty-six fire stations, this number has increased since its very early days; however the majority of the stations in use today are operated by retained fire fighters. There are currently: - Three wholetime fire stations
- Four wholetime and retained stations
- One is staffed by day duty and retained.
- Eighteen retained stations.[2]
