West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service<\/a>, on behalf of West Sussex County Council, has chosen Willmott Dixon<\/a> to deliver a fire service training centre and fire station<\/h2>\n

The scheme in Horsham will be the first of its kind in West Sussex, providing a modern working environment<\/a> for fire and rescue service staff, as well as a 24-hour operational fire station.<\/p>\n

Key features include a combined training tower and breathing apparatus facility and a realistic live-fire training area.\u202f The high-tech premises will also include a residential element for new recruit training, an incident command training facility, realistic road traffic collision training area and rooms for digital simulations.<\/p>\n

The new fire service training centre and fire station will have a strong emphasis on renewable energy sources such as solar panels and air source heat pumps to provide heating, as well as electric vehicle charging<\/a> points, in-line with the county council\u2019s drive to become carbon neutral by 2030.<\/p>\n

\u2018A first-class training facility\u2019<\/h3>\n

West Sussex County Council cabinet member for\u00a0community support, fire and rescue, Duncan Crow, said: \u201cI am delighted that this project has been approved. The new development represents a significant investment in our fire and rescue service that will allow our firefighters the very best in training facilities. This benefits not only our firefighters, but also the safety of West Sussex residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief fire officer, Sabrina Cohen-Hatton, commented: \u201cThis is a fantastic commitment from the county council to the training and development of all of our staff, and one which is going to have an incredible impact upon our service.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot wait for work to begin to turn these plans into a fully functional fire station and training centre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russell Miller, director at Willmott Dixon\u2019s Crawley office, added: \u201cWe are looking forward to building a first-class training facility that supports the brilliant work of West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the focus on decarbonising property<\/a>, renewable energy will be at the heart of this, keeping with our own sustainability objectives that all new buildings we deliver after 2030 should be net zero carbon in use.\u201d<\/p>\n
