A huge campaign is underway to strengthen the numbers of on-call firefighters across Wiltshire. On-call firefighters are integral to the service s response to emergencies in the region. Devizes Fire Station have been promoting all the things that are great about their station - and that includes its vast history. Devizes’s fire brigade was first established in 1868, back when a horse and cart transported kit and firefighters, rather than the red fire engine we know today. In the years that followed, the station went on to become known as the Devizes Municipal Fire Brigade and the Devizes base for the Wiltshire Fire Brigade.
