Stockhill Fire Station (20)
This fire station is my local fire station. They turn out to most of the Fire Alarms at the halls of residence I work in. There are four watches, White, Red, green and Blue who do a four day on four day off shift system. They do shifts from 9am-6pm for two days and 6pm-9am for two days then have four days off. and mostly White Watch has turned out to us. Fire alarms are normally caused by students cooking and leaving fire doors open, purposly setting the alarms off with deoderant etc. or actual fires. To date this year we have only had 1 small fire. No one was injured luckily. Due to constrictions from the University I cannot state cause or persons involved, just date time and crew attending. If another station attends it means that Stockhill is out on another call.

Whilst the brigade are out to us it puts lives at risk so I try and prevent false alarms from accuring, so far there has only been a few compared to last years which had a total of 57 in 8 months. I hope this year it can be kept to a minimum. We thank the crews for attending as every time the alarm goes they are automatically called. This is for our safety. But unfortunately some people abuse this. And the unfortunate reality is that somebody could die due to a false alarm here, so prevention is a major priority. At the moment there has been in the last week (25/03/00 - 03/03/00) three alarms after a gap of 3 months. I hope this is an isolated week and hope it will not become a pattern.
