The Service HQ building on Garstang Road, Fulwood was built as a private residence for one family but is now workplace for 187 people. Over many years it has become a compromise in terms of space and suitability for purpose. Moreover, the cost of maintaining and heating the old building has been a constant drain on resources which will be more than offset by the energy and efficiency savings that purpose-built premises would guarantee. Lancashire’s Combined Fire Authority have approved plans to re-locate the Headquarters of the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service from Fulwood to Chorley, building a new combined Service Headquarters and Training Centre site on the existing Chorley site, aiming for Spring of 2016 to complete the move.
