History and Background
The original Fire Station dates from the early 1940’s and, was manned by volunteers during the war. Its facilities were sparse consisting of a garage with a rear office. As a result a new station was built at Masterman Place and is now staffed by retained personnel employed from the local community.
The area is predominantly agricultural with a history of lead, zinc and fluorspar mining. Some light industry exists but the area relies on seasonal tourism. Within the station area there are large cultivated heather fells used for shooting, caravan and camping sites and, numerous old quarry excavations which provide climbing opportunities (and the associated risk of falls or entrapment).
