Kingston, Devon

Kingston is civil parish and small scattered village in the South Hams, Devon, England.

It is crewed by locals who operate in the same manner as retained fire service personnel.

Kingston Fire Station was set up in September 1949, just after the water main was laid.

They currently have a unique vehicle, the South Ham's only 4-wheel-drive fire engine, based on a Mercedes 814DA chassis, built at the Crownhill workshops of the old Devon fire and rescue service in 1998, a far cry from the 15-year-old ex Cornwall Land Rover it replaced.
