We've received our appliance upgrade! Once serving the busy city centre at @AFRSTemple to now serving the community of Paulton and surrounding areas in Avon.
@Fruitbat06@AvonFireRescue @AFRSTemple We still operate to the old Avon Borders. Not to say we cannot be requested into cross border jobs with other services.
Are you interested in becoming an on-call firefighter?
