About

Keighley Fire Station was built in 1964 and borders with both Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Keighley has a population of 50,972 and the area incorporates 20,109 dwellings. The team is made up of a station commander (who also manages Silsden) and 48 firefighters.
