Deeside Fire Station covers Deeside and the surrounding area. Due to its proximity to the border with Cheshire, Deeside crews also attend a number of cross border incidents.

The Station covers a number of sites of risk. Deeside Industrial Park is one of the largest industrial parks of its kind in Europe.

There are also a number of large factories within its catchment including Airbus, Toyota and Shotton Paper as well as three power stations.
