About the project
Cosham Fire Station, is the new facility for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service (HIWFRS), located on Northern Road, Cosham, Portsmouth, Hampshire.
The project is one of a wider station investment programme for HIWFRS, the others being located in Bishop’s Waltham and the new live fire training facility at their headquarters in Eastleigh. This will help meet modern demands on the service catering for larger vehicles and increased training requirements.
