Training Centre Burning Dates - Information for Winsford Residents

If you live in Winsford, chances are you are familiar with our training centre on Sadler Road.

Regular training is essential to our firefighters being able to rescue people safely from fires, to be able to contain and extinguish live fires quickly and effectively.

To do this, there are occasions when we have to use live fires.

Whilst we try to keep these to a minimum to avoid inconvenience to local residents, live fire is essential in the training of our staff and the communities we protect.

We hope by publishing these dates in advance, it will allow you time to plan and if needed, make alternative arrangements.

Depending on the wind direction and weather conditions, we would recommend on these dates, local residents:

  • Keep windows closed

  • Refrain from hanging washing out

  • Avoid sitting in their gardens

The training sessions will generally take place between 10am and 4pm.
