Thanks if you can help me out.

our kid, the info should be available from the stations themselves if you contyact them. i would suggest though that turnouts dont accuratetly reflect the work of a firefighter who also spends a considerable amount of time on training (i hope) fire safety amongst many. if you are after the info as a potential recruit< and i apologise if youre not!!, try visiting the stations personally, im sure theyd be pleased to help

Pilgrim Street is to be 'closed' within the next year - being 'amalgamated' with the present West Rd at Ncle West Community Fire Station (new at Elswick Road/Rye Hill Junction). Gateshead is presently in a temporary accomdation while the Community station is built and Swalwell moves to its new Community station this year too. All have reasonable call numbers - falling too.
Out of interst why did you ask about those three out of the full TWFRS stations? If you transfer to TWFRS you could be posted to any - from Tynemoth to Sunderland! Also it is worth noting that TWFRS is to be amalgamated with Northumberland, Durham&Darlington and Cleveland in April 2006 - so a very large service area..........
When you apply for a post you should expect to be asked about the future and you should expect to undergo stringent entry tests even though you are already in the service I take it?
