Patterdale fire station is staffed by On-call Firefighters and houses one fire engine.
Patterdale, though a relatively quiet station, deals with a variety of incidents including chimney fires, barn fires, house fires, road traffic collisions, prolonged flooding and automatic alarms from Hotels. A memorable special service call was to the Ullswater steamer the M.V Raven which was about to sink at its moorings when a stop cock failed. The light portable pump soon had her pumped out and floating again ready for the season.
