Firefighters, police officers, and paramedics were called to the blaze at the former station house in Beswick Close, in Rushton, near Kettering, Northamptonshire, at about 22:30 GMT on Friday.

Her foundation dates back to 2010, when local business owners visited a station house that did not have a washing machine capable of cleaning the toxins from heavy turnout coats.

The ready reserve engines are supposed to be available for weather emergencies and sometimes to replace broken rigs at station houses.

In the late 19th century, they began to use call boxes, booths where they could send telegraphs or dial a station house.

“I do best when I’m under pressure,” Schneider said at the station house late last month, growing more animated with each word and rapping on a table with his knuckles.
