Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is delighted to announce the reopening of Lingfield Fire Station following extensive redevelopment.
Lingfield Fire Station, located in south-east Surrey, has been modernised to create more sustainable, improved facilities for its crews so they can continue to serve and protect the community. These improvements ensure the service continues to meet the highest safety standards, support a modern workforce, and provide the best service for residents.
Chair of Surrey County Council, Tim Hall, cut the ribbon to formally reopen the fire station alongside Chief Fire Officer, Dan Quin.
The redevelopment includes:
- Enhanced facilities for operational contaminants management and hygiene.
- New gym facilities to support crews in maintaining their fitness.
- A community space to allow for engagement with residents and partners.
- A second fire and rescue vehicle bay to allow for additional vehicles.
- Cleaner, greener and more sustainable designs.
The project is part of Surrey County Council’s wider investment programme across Surrey Fire and Rescue Service sites. The overarching aim to ensure the facilities are up to standard and enhance community safety.
Chief Fire Officer, Dan Quin, said: “Firstly, a huge thank you to the teams working behind the scenes on rebuilding this fire station – this has been one of those long and very complex projects and they have done a fantastic job.
“Also, a big thank you to the residents, councillors and colleagues who joined us for the opening of the fire station. It was great to share the momentous occasion with such a great group of people.”
Councillor Tim Hall, chair of Surrey County Council, said: “What an absolute joy to be a part of the reopening of Lingfield Fire Station – meeting members of the Lingfield community and staff members who worked so hard to get this just right.
“I am pleased that Surrey County Council’s investment is making a long-lasting positive change for our fire and rescue service.”
During the redevelopment, Lingfield’s crews relocated to Oxted Fire Station and have remained steadfast in their role, supporting the community from the temporary location.
The reopening of this fire station marks a significant milestone in Surrey Fire and Rescue Service’s ongoing commitment to protecting and serving its communities and provides a modern, resilient emergency service for the county.
