On the 27 July at 10-11 hours the Windsor appliance was called to a serious fire in Grenfell Road, Maidenhead. The Windsor appliance was first to the incident and was backed up by another appliance from Slough. Four breathing apparatus wearers were committed. Two high pressure hose-reel jets and two main jets were used, as well as a thermal imaging camera. The crews were at the scene for nearly 2 hours.

This is a typical example of the value of the Windsor appliance. To downgrade the station in any form will weaken the resilience of the Brigade in east Berkshire. If the Fire Service is diluted then lives and property may be compromised in the future.
