ABSTRACT
The judicial system of England and Wales is in direct line of descent from that established by William I nearly a thousand years ago, subsequently modified by Magna Carta and many other reforms. Courthouses are the visible manifestation of one of the most fundamental set of principles upon which society is based. Fire stations are required to fulfil efficiently the functions laid down by the national, regional and metropolitan bodies that supervise their work. Paramedics are to be trained within the fire service; provision needs to be made for them in new stations. Fire Rescue Units may also need to be garaged. Ambulance stations are either control stations or their satellites. The control stations contain larger store areas and a divisional office, and may have dining, recreation and activity areas. On- site sleeping accommodation is no longer required. Satellite stations have from two to six ambulances and deal only with accident and emergency calls.
