Elgin

Elgin Community Fire Station is a former Grampian Fire and Rescue Service station situated in Moray. The station has five bays and operates on a combined wholetime and retained duty basis. Elgin has a co-location scheme in place with the Scottish Ambulance Service allowing for a paramedic response unit (PRU) and pateint transport vehicles to be based at and respond from the station.

Elgin has one of three incident support vehicles (ISV) located throughout the Grampian region. The ISVs carry a range of equipment, notably 50 breathing apparatus (BA) cylinders, mass decontamination 4 (MD4) equipment, basic refreshments and a variety of logistical support. ISVs can be requested at any time but should generally be mobilised when more than 4 BA sets are in use at an incident. A support pump must be mobilised alongside the ISV, which will generally be the station's retained crew but if this is not possible the nearest wholetime pump should be mobilised as support (every wholetime crew in the Grampian region are sufficiently trained in ISV procedures). The two other ISV are located at Peterhead and Dyce.

The station boasts Level 3 water rescue capabilities, the highest level, with a dedicated Water Rescue Unit (WRU) and a trailed boat. Crewed by Level 3 water rescue technicians and rescue powerboat operators, the team can perform rescues by entering or swimming in water, and utilize boats or rescue skids. WRUs are typically dispatched to all water rescue incidents, supported by an additional WRU when needed.

Elgin is equipped with a High Volume Pump (HVP) module, carried on a prime mover. One of only four stations in Scotland with this capability, the HVP system is used for pumping large volumes of water over long distances during incidents such as flooding or fires that demand a significant water removal or supply. This asset enables Elgin to support operations requiring extensive water resources.
