Day Crewed Cover

Staff working the day-crewed system, essentially work on stations during daytimes only and on shift patterns dictated by the location of the station in the County. (See County Map)

Outside of this, fire cover is provided by retained personnel
(RDS) who carry a pager and are called into the station to answer emergency callouts.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Day-Crewed stations are located in:

Haverhill x 1 - 7 days a week  07:45 hrs – 18:00 hrs.
Felixstowe x 1- 7 days a week 07:45 hrs – 18:00 hrs.
Newmarket x 1- 5 days a week 08:30 hrs – 18:00 hrs.

So, for example, Haverhill and Felixstowe:

                                      Week 1

Mon     Tue     Wed     Thur     Fri     Sat     Sun    
Day Day Day Day Off Off Off

                                       Week 2
Mon     Tue     Wed     Thur     Fri     Sat     Sun    
Day Day Day Off Off Day Day


Newmarket works a variation of the above system over 5 days.
