The fire station's address is Victoria Street (the A4064) though the main entrance is here, from Hill View. Officially opened on June 5th 1972, the station serves the Garw Valley (north of Bridgend) from Bettws in the south to Blaengarw at the northern end of the valley. The station name shows both PONTYCYMMER and PONTYCYMER. The latter spelling is the Welsh language name of the village, which is now (2014) also widely used in English.
