Newcastle is the most diverse district within our coverage area, encompassing a wide range of residential properties. These range from small, isolated areas of housing to significant commercial and industrial premises.
The greatest fire risks occur within people’s homes, and Newcastle is home to approximately 111,000 households. To address these risks effectively, the district’s four community fire stations collaborate closely, pooling resources and focusing efforts on identified hazards.
