Opened in 1973 and operated by Avon Fire & Rescue Service. The station is manned by retained firefighters and has two water tenders. Although the address is Station Road, unfortunately there is no longer a railway serving the town but there are plans progressing for its restoration as part of the Greater Bristol Metro scheme.
