Harleston Fire Station

Harleston Fire Station Harleston Fire Station is a retained Fire Station in the county of Norfolk England. Staffed by 12 on call Firefighters. RETAINED. What is it?

A retained firefighter, also known as a Firefighter working the Retained Duty System (RDS), RDS Firefighter, part-time firefighter or on-call firefighter, in the United Kingdom and Ireland is a professional firefighter who may have full-time employment outside of the fire service but responds to emergency calls within their local area as and when required. When required to answer an emergency call

, retained firefighters are summoned to the fire station by a radio pager (also known as a "bleeper"). Once at the station, the crews staff the fire engine and proceed to the incident. Retained firefighters are therefore required to live or work near to the fire station they serve. This allows them to respond to emergencies within acceptable and strict attendance time targets set out by each fire service.
