Desborough station re-opens following roof replacement work

The on-call crew from Desborough is responding from the station in King Street again following the completion of a roof replacement.

The crew was temporarily relocated to Rothwell on October 1 so that the essential repair work could take place to maintain the structural integrity of the building – which was built in 1975.

Mick Berry, Area Manager for Response, said: “We appreciate the patience and understanding of residents in both Desborough and Rothwell over the last few weeks while these works have been taking place.

“As a Fire Service we are investing in improving our stations and making sure our crews have the best facilities in which they can work and train.

“We are delighted that the work has been completed to schedule, and that the Desborough crew are now back at the Station – where they will continue to respond and carry out their important community and prevention work to keep people safe.”
