Number of incidents Kimbolton attended that were outside of the Kimbolton area*

5

*This could be for an incident in neighbouring town or area that required two or more fire engines to attend, or if an incident further afield in the county was taking several hours to deal with and relief crews were needed (to take over so other crews could return and rest).

Total number of times the Kimbolton fire engine and crew was used by the Service*

9

*This could be to attend incidents, either immediately or as relief crews, or to standby at another fire station that was short of cover due to ongoing incidents (eg if Wisbech fire engines were at an incident and were expected to be there a while, another fire crew is sometimes sent from a less busy/lower risk area to cover the other area that is now without a crew available as it is deemed to be a greater risk area needing a fire engine immediately available – this is also done to ensure we have available cover across the county).
