On the 23 February at 12-27 hours, the Windsor crew were called to assist at a fire within a furniture shop at Villiers Road, Slough. (Incident Number 11407).

This severe blaze required appliances for several hours from Windsor, Slough (x2), Maidenhead and Wokingham, plus an Incident Control appliance.

The Langley appliance was also committed to a separate fire within a portacabin at a school, so you will undoubtedly be aware of how little fire cover there was available within east Berkshire?

If the Brigade does close Windsor at night, it will leave this end of the county vulnerable. Slough Fire Station cannot be expected to realistically ‘bridge the gap’ since they often require assistance themselves from neighbouring stations, like…Windsor.
