There is a specialist vehicle-based at Ashfield Fire Station - the high volume pump.

When attending incidents it is supported by a unit from Newark Fire Station and crewed by RDS personnel from a number of North Group fire stations.
Ashfield Fire Station is actively involved with a number of local safety initiatives, working with multi-agency partners to provide education, safety advice, and support to the community.
