Notes

A basic two day, two night and four off system is worked to provide:-

1 Sub Officer 1 Leading Firefighter 3 Firefighters

This is augmented during the day (7-30 to 2-30) with:-

1 Leading Firefighter

3 Firefighters

and when there are movements at anytime by the number required for the Category of the movement. The rota for the rest is rather complicated.

The total staff on the base is:-

1 Station Officer

4 Sub Officers

7 Leading Firemen

21 Firemen

At weekends unless there are any movements only domestic cover is provided by five men.

The Firefighters work a normal 48 hour shift which works out at a 42 hour week.

The RIV and MFV are crewed 5 & 5 (Min 4 & 3). (2002)

At the weekend Min crew is 4 for domestic cover and 7 during the week. (June 2011)

Although now part of the Defence Fire Risk Management Organisation the Firefighters at the base are civilians.
