Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service splits the county into three separate operational areas. This allows the FRS to have greater control over the county due to closer communication and logisitcal links.

The area of coverage also includes Swindon Borough, as well as the county of Wiltshire.

In total, the area of coverage includes:
• 18 Retained Fire Stations
• 3 Wholetime Fire Stations
• 3 Day Crewed Fire Stations
• 1 Nucleus Fire Station
• 1 Training and Development Centre

Retained Fire Stations are made up of a crew of part-time firefighters who normally work other full-time jobs. Each retained firefighter has to be at the Station within 5 minutes of being called on a personal pager. This type of firefighter makes up the majority of operational personel at Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service.

Wholetime Fire Stations can comprise of wholetime and retained firefighters. Wholetime firefighters follow a basic shift pattern of four consecutive shifts; 2 day shifts (9am-6pm), 2 night shifts (6pm-9am). This shift pattern is then repeated within an 8 day cycle. Wholetime Fire Stations tend only to exist in densely populated areas, where there is the highest risk of fire.

Day Crewed Fire Stations can also comprise of wholetime and retained firefighters. Day Crewed Stations, as the name suggests, only receive wholetime crewing levels during the day. Throughout the night, fire cover is provided on a retained basis. Firefighters work for 3 consecutive day shifts, followed by 3 days off. This cover continues over the weekend.

Nucleus Fire Stations comprises of a core of wholetime firefighters that work day shifts (9am-5pm), then fire cover is provided on a retained basis during the night and at weekends. The main difference between Nucleus and Day Crewed Stations is that Nucleus work a regular working week, 9am-5pm (Monday to Friday).
