This ground breaking project is a game changer for West Sussex, it is the first Live Fire Training facility in the region. Placing firefighters’ health and wellbeing as the top priority with the design of the facility, it marks a significant milestone in the evolution of our Fire and Rescue Services.

Platinum House stands as a shining example of a modern, safe working environment for fire and rescue service staff, as well as a 24-hour operational Fire Station - a rare gem in the UK and the first new fire station in West Sussex since 1974. The name "Platinum House" was chosen to honour the late Queen’s jubilee held last year.
