Fire Stations

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (RBFRS) provides cover 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from 16 fire stations across the county of Berkshire, ranging from Langley and Slough in the east to Lambourn and Hungerford in the west.

Fire stations are crewed by a mix of wholetime (full-time) and on-call (retained) firefighters dependent on the risk determined for each area. Fire stations are crewed by a rotating watch duty system of operational personnel, where these watches work the following:

• Two days of 9am to 6pm 
• Two nights of 6pm to 9am
• Four days off-duty

For information on booking any of our Community Rooms, please visit the Community Rooms page.

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service’s premises are a safe space.
We will offer you a place where you can receive information about helpful organisations.

We have a zoning system within our buildings to help minimise the risk posed by fire contaminants, which are the chemical products of fire combustion. This risk is minimal to any visitor, as it is primarily in place to support our teams who may be exposed to potential fire contaminants through occupational exposure. You are not required to take any action when moving between the zones. For your awareness only, this poster will be displayed around fire stations when you visit, detailing what each zone signifies.

A partnership between Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (RBFRS) and NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) allows residents to donate blood at eight fire stations across Berkshire. 

After Wokingham Fire Station became the first station to host blood donation sessions in April 2016, the partnership between RBFRS and NHSBT has proved so successful that all RBFRS fire stations that are big enough to support NHSBT operations have been approved as venues to host blood donation sessions.

Appointments can be booked at Wokingham, Caversham Road, Langley, Slough, Maidenhead, Whitley Wood and Bracknell fire stations.

If you would like to give blood, please visit: www.blood.co.uk or call 0300 123 23 23 to make an appointment.
