Thornbury is lucky enough to have its own Fire Station with two engines and twenty retained firefighters.
They provide cover for the town and surrounding villages 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as part of Avon Fire and Rescue Service.
As well as fighting fires and responding to other emergencies, the team play a key role in promoting community safety, visiting homes, schools and community groups to offer free safety advice.

If you'd like the firefighters to visit your house to carry out a free Home Fire Safety Visit and fit a free smoke alarm, click here to send your request.
If you're organising an outdoor event, and would like the team to bring their fire safety message along, click here to make a request.
Thornbury Fire Station is available for station visits. Visitors can call in during weekly training on Mondays 6.30pm-9pm, or group visits (max. 20 people) can be arranged by clicking here.
If you are interested in becoming a firefighter, call in to the station on a Monday evening for an information pack, or click here.
