The wholetime crews man the station durring the day monday to friday till about 5 (don't quote me on that) and then it is the retained crews that respond to calls evenings and nights aswell as weekends. It is one of two variable crew stations in Surrey (i think) so in this video its either the weekend or an evening.
@VidxBoy no its all the same people.....same as day crewed stations in other brigades. They are on station, like wholetime, during the day (monday to friday) but in the evenings and at weekends the respond like retained firefighters from home.
@pcjoel999 Having actually spent a week at this station as work experience and a family member currently working in surrey fire service and working with the crew at Walton, the crew seen in this video is not the same as the day crew. They are retained fire fighters.
@VidxBoy oh rite cheers......thats weird.......all the day crewed stations i know do it how i said. oh and how the hell yoou get work experience there? usually a huge NO! due to insurance! you get to go on shouts?
@pcjoel999 Walton and Haslemere both work in the same way; day crew during the days in the week and retained crew evenings and weekends. Thats for surrey anyway i can't comment on other services. Because of the way Walton is crewed they can offer work experience. not sure of the best way to describe it but the best place for more accurate information is surreys website. No i didn't go on shouts as the days we were available to there wasn't actually any shouts. The program was very full on!
not retained anymore we are on call firefighters and varied crew are on station from 0800 till 1800 mon to fri then on calls evenings and weekends
