AV installation for Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service

Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service provides 24 hour service to just over 1 million people and employs over 900 staff within their 24 fire stations, including their HQ and training base in Winsford. It was for this HQ that we were approached to design, develop and install a state of the art training facility.

At a formal ceremony on Friday 4th June, the Duke of Westminster officially opened the Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service’s new state-of–the–art training facility at its headquarters in Winsford, UK.

The objective of the project was to give the fire crews the most realistic training environment possible and incorporates a range of innovative features including:

  • Fully customisable virtual reality software capable of recreating any type of fire or major incident
  • Multi display screens to create a 360 degree view of a major emergency
  • Advanced CCTV and sound system to allow feedback and add realism

Fire Authority Chair Cllr. David Topping said  “We are confident this is the best training facility of its kind in the country and Europe and it represents a major investment in the safety of our staff and the communities they serve.
