Kirkby Lonsdale Fire Station

Kirkby Lonsdale is a small town in south east Cumbria with a population of approximately 2,500 people.  The station is staffed by 12 retained firefighters and has one fire engine.  

The town is situated in a beautiful location by the River Lune and is a favourite location for day trippers and holiday makers.

The town has a busy retail industry from where many of the local firefighters are recruited. The fire station responds to various types of emergencies such as incidents in the river, road traffic collisions on the busy 'A' road which crosses the County boundary, barn fires and the rescue of entrapped farm animals.   

Like all other fire stations the staff are actively involved in a wide range of community safety activities.
