Being a central station in North Norfolk a training building was built in the late 1980s to allow crews from Fakenham and the neighbouring stations to drill in realistic conditions, also wholetime officers are attached to the station who provide support for Fakenham and surrounding stations.
Fakenham was the first retained station in Norfolk to have hydraulic cutting equipment when a Rescue Tender was based there in 1987, this was replaced with a Rescue pump in 1996 and the station has maintained this valuable resource by being given a new appliance in 2004 along with the latest modern cutting equipment
