Hungerford Fire Station

Hungerford Community Fire Station officially opened in November 2016. It provides Royal Berkshire’s first community tri-service station with shared facilities for Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (RBFRS), Thames Valley Police (TVP), and South-Central Ambulance Service (SCAS).

Our structural services involved assessing the three buildings forming the existing station. New structural elements revised the internal space and furthermore, an extension to the front of the building.

In addition, the plans included many new key features. An enlarged appliance bay needed to accommodate a modern fire appliance. A gym installed to support firefighters in maintaining their fitness. An upgraded drill tower. And finally, a new training tower facility to allow for ladder transfer practice and a community room.

Councillor Colin Dudley, Chairman of Royal Berkshire Fire Authority (RBFA), officially opened the station in a ceremony. “There are many reasons to be proud of Hungerford Community Fire Station. Not only is it Royal Berkshire’s first station to house all three emergency services, it is a modern, fit-for-purpose station in the heart of the community it serves.”

Overall, Clegg Associates enjoyed working on this project and we share our delight that our client is proud of the new fire station.
