On 1st April 1948 the National Fire Service was disbanded and Sutton Scotney fire station became one of the 50 fire stations forming the Hampshire Fire Service. The only thatched fire station in the country, continued in service until 14th October 1972 when the present station a few yards further up Oxford Road was officially opened. The building stands in the car park of the Coach & Horses public house and has been converted into letting accommodation, the three rooms are named Dennis, Bedford and Commer after famous makes of Fire Engine.
