About Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service
Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service stations cover the 4th largest area in England with 2,074 square miles including 200 miles of inland waterways, 90 miles of coastline and 6,125 miles of roads.
We serve 891,700 residents including 428,713 in rural populations. We are at the heart of community protection.
Everyone knows that we provide an emergency blue light response, but not everyone knows a relatively small amount of our time is spent attending emergencies and fighting fires. What we do the rest of the time is intensive staff training and community prevention.
Where we are based
Our service is based within communities and we operate from 42 fire stations across Norfolk. Our fire stations are split into four regional areas.

The eastern area is home to 11 stations with Great Yarmouth and Gorleston staffed by wholetime and on-call firefighters, and Cromer, Fakenham, Holt, Martham, Mundesley, North Walsham, Sheringham, Stalham and Wells stations all staffed by on-call firefighters.
