Cornwall Fire, Rescue and Community Safety (CFRCS) Service in partnership with South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASfT) have launched new joint facilities at Truro Emergency Services Community Station.

SWASfT will be providing an emergency response from the station and will share all facilities there, including having their response vehicles based at the station. The station has been refurbished to enhance joint working facilities.

This project began in early January and managers say it represents is an exciting opportunity for services to work closer together, providing joint benefits including; shared building costs, better partnership working, better use of shared resources and a more efficient response for the community. This is part of a wider programme of work across blue light partners to deliver collaborative projects throughout Cornwall.
