History

As Grange is a coastal town on the estuary, over the years the station has attended numerous rescues of people and also animals that have become stuck in the quicksand. In addition to this the proximity of the sea often leads to some localised flooding. The main A590 trunk road runs through the station area and as this is one of the most notorious roads in the county for road traffic collisions, this is a significant part of the firefighters duty today.
