In the United Kingdom the use of retained firefighters (who are part-time, but are paid when on duty) rather than volunteers is standard. The Peterborough Volunteer Fire Brigade, formed in 1884, is the only one of its kind remaining. Nowadays the Peterborough Volunteer Fire Brigade effectively functions as a retained fire station, except that its members provide their services unpaid. Borth Volunteer Fire Unit, part of Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, Ceredigion command, operates on a similar basis.

  • In the United Kingdom the use of retained firefighters (who are part-time, but are paid when on duty) rather than volunteers is standard. The Peterborough Volunteer Fire Brigade, formed in 1884, is the only one of its kind remaining. Nowadays the Peterborough Volunteer Fire Brigade effectively functions as a retained fire station, except that its members provide their services unpaid. The Peterborough Volunteer Fire Brigade operates as a private fire brigade under a special contract with the fire authority and as such falls under the jurisdiction of the county chief fire officer, responding to calls as directed by the Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service. Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service also operate two wholetime (Dogsthorpe and Stanground) and one retained (Thorney) fire station in Peterborough. The volunteer fire station, located on Bourges Boulevard, was built in the Brigade's centenary year. It aims to keep one full crew of six people on duty at all times. Borth Volunteer Fire Unit, part of Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, Ceredigion command, operates on a similar basis. (en)
