Work started in May 2014 on the development at the juction of Clough Lane and Slade Lane before the station went live in June this year.

The consolidation of Brighouse and Elland resources at a new fire station delivers revenue savings of £1 million per year while maintaining excellent service delivery standards and providing employees with vastly improved accommodation facilities.

The station has retained its specialist water rescue capacity, housing a powerboat with all the crew highly trained in swift water rescue.

The former stations have now been put up for sale.
