Joy Morrissey MP has announced that Marlow station has been transformed into one of the most important sites for the Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, thanks to a significant investment.
The station now features a range of facilities and services, including a pumping appliance, a breathing apparatus support unit, the South Buckinghamshire Fire Protection Team, the New Thames Valley Fire Investigation Team, and a Military Veterans walk-in centre. Additionally, the station collaborates with the Air Ambulance, SCAS, and the Red Cross support unit.
On Friday, many members of the team will be present at the station for the various services provided.
Expressing her enthusiasm about the project, Mrs Morrissey said, “Working with the Fire Service to secure the long-term future of Marlow Fire Station has been a very important priority for me. I am delighted they have listened to the case I put and that Marlow station has become such an important hub for Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service and other emergency services. Above all, thank you to all the teams and firefighters for what they do to keep us safe.”
Cllr Simon Rouse, Chairman of the Buckinghamshire Fire Authority, expressed his appreciation for Morrissey’s support, saying, “We were delighted to show Joy Morrissey the vital role Marlow Fire Station now plays across Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. As well as her strong representations about the importance of Marlow Fire Station, I also want to thank Joy for the important role she played in convincing the Home Office in retaining funding for our specialist Urban and Search Rescue team.”
