Bishop’s Waltham boasts a rich firefighting history, and today it marked a new chapter with the opening of the town’s brand new fire station.

The current crew welcomed local dignitaries and senior officers to the Lower Lane site for the official opening of the station, which is where firefighters have been based since 1960.

Planning permission was granted in August 2021 before the team moved into their temporary site in February last year. A few weeks later the old building was demolished prior to the ground-breaking ceremony almost a year ago today.
