Notes

Surbiton Fire Station was constructed and opened in 1931 by the Surbiton Fire Brigade.

In the lead-up to World War II the station’s crews were supplemented by the Auxiliary Fire Service in 1938 before coming under the control of the National Fire Service in 1941.

With the dissolution of the National Fire Service in 1948, control of the station was passed to the Surrey Fire Brigade.

The formation of the Greater London Council and the subsequent redrawing of boundaries saw the London Fire Brigade assume control of the station in 1965.
