Aspatria is a small town in West Cumbria situated approximately half way between the west coast and city of Carlisle, with a population of approximately 3,500 people.    The main employer in the town is the Sealy bed manufacturer and dairy crest producing dairy products. 

The main risk within the Station area are associated with the two busy trunk roads, the A596 which runs through the town, and the near by A595.   These roads are busy with both commuter and transport traffic, along with slow moving agricultural traffic.   This all equates to a high risk for road traffic collisions in the area.   Other risks in the area are associated with the large number of agricultural premises in the area. Open farmland brings the danger of barn fires, heath and moor land fires, as well as livestock rescues.  

The station is located in the town centre on the main road through the town and is staffed by 13 retained firefighters.   The Station houses one fire engine, which is equipped with rescue equipment to provide a quick response to road traffic collisions.  

The station is actively involved in numerous Community Fire Safety awareness programmes and is very pro-active in the Services delivery of Road Awareness Training (RAT) programme.   The station personnel visits local schools and organisations, as well as attending open days and fetes with fire safety advice.  

Free home safety visits are available to all householders.   If you require any fire safety advice or assistance please contact us on the free phone number 0800 358 4777
