There has been a fire service in Maidenhead since 1866. The current fire station was opened in 1977 and serves a population of around 80,000 people within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
The station’s wholetime section is supported a group of on-call firefighters.
Maidenhead has six front line appliances – the most of any Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service station. They include one wholetime fire engine, one 4×4 fire engine crewed by the on-call crew, two 4×4 pumping off-road vehicles switch crewed with one of the fire engines, one 4×4 Land Rover with a portable pumping capability, the multi-role vehicle and the Incident Command Unit that is crewed by the on-call personnel.
