Other Station Information
Redditch Fire Station relocated to its new site in January 2025 and now shares a modern, up-to-date building with West Mercia Police. Fire crews cover the 31 districts of the town with its population of approximately 90,000. Redditch is one of the most active in the service, attending around 1200 call outs a year, from Wythall and the M42 motorway in the north, down to Inkberrow and Feckenham further south.
Redditch Fire Station is made up of both Wholetime firefighters and On-Call firefighters. The station is crewed by four Wholetime watches, who are supported by a large pool of On-Call firefighters that respond to emergency calls whenever they are needed.
The crews have two Scania fire appliances. These appliances are first-line attack engines that can carry a crew of up to six firefighters, along with firefighting and rescue equipment. The station also has an enhanced Water First Responder capability.
On-Call drill nights are held at the Fire Station every Monday commencing at 6.30pm.
