Nottingham Central Fire station (18) Nottingham Central Fire station covers the main City centre of Nottingham, Located on the North side of the City centre It is home to a Turntable ladder and 2 pump ladders.
The variety of calls this station answers are normally city centre high rise from Automatic alarms, which involve a full call out of TL and 2 pumps, in some cases being assisted by Dunkirk for calls to the two shopping centres, Broadmarsh and Victoria centres and the large university buildings nearby. Also they attend alot of house fires in the St Annes district and Hyson green, both renound areas of high crime and low cost housing as well as assisting Stockhill fire station (the busyest in Nottingham) with car fires in Broxtowe park and their station ground when Stockhill are on another call. Also Central has 4 Student halls of residences in their area and nursing homes, schools, Theatres and cinemas etc. The Bullhorns on the vehicles are very usefull, as Nottingham city centre normaly becomes gridlocked during rush hour, and it helps the drivers get through traffic easily as well as the concealed T-junction they come out of onto the main road into the city centre. The area consists of A, B & C risks.
Cemtral also turn out to my halls of residence when our local station Stockhill are already on a shout. They attended to us on:
