Bootle is a small village situated in South Copeland approximately 24 miles south of Whitehaven and eight miles north of Millom.   It has a population of approximately 1,300 people in an area that extends from Whitbeck to the mouth of the River Esk near Waberthwaite, however most of the population lives in the village of Bootle itself which is 2 miles inland. 

Most of the population commute out of the area for employment, but the largest employer in the area is the DSA testing range at Eskmeals.   The area has an unspoiled sandy coastline and the Eskmeals dunes are a nature reserve and are part of the Drigg coast special area of conservation.

The Fire Station is located on the Main Street in Bootle village and houses one fire engine which is crewed by 10 retained firefighters.   The A595 trunk road runs directly through the village and can give the problems of road traffic accidents.   

Like all other fire stations the staff are actively involved in a wide range of community safety activities.   If you want any help or advice on safety issues contact John Bradley, the Community Safety Firefighter
