Newton Abbot Fire Station - 999 for emergencies or 01392 872 200 (not 24/7)

Stn 28 Newton Abbot has 2 pumping appliances along with an Environmental Protection Unit, crewed by 21 "on call" personnel.

Newton Abbot Fire Station is located on The Avenue and covers the towns of Newton Abbot, Denbury, East & West Ogwell, Abbotskerswell, Ippelpen and Kingsteignton whilst supporting surrounding areas across Devon.

The station is a retained "on call" 2 pump fire station with an EPU (Environmental Protection Unit)

We currently have 21 personnel - 2 Watch Managers, 4 Crew Managers and 15 Fire Fighters.

Being "on call" means that we are not on the station 24 hours a day. We are contacted by a pager that every on call firefighter carries on their person.

So when a '999' call comes in, all crews are alerted by Fire Control to attend the station, from either their homes or place of work. Details of the incident are given via a turnout sheet.

Each Monday evening we attend the station, between 19:00 and 21:00 for weekly training. This is known as a drill night.
