Upton upon Severn is an On-Call fire station, so it is staffed solely by On-Call firefighters, who respond to emergency calls from home or work whenever they are needed. Crews also receive specialist training in water rescue to assist the community during flooding events, especially since Upton has the only bridge over the River Severn between Worcester and Tewkesbury. The crew have recently received one of two Welfare units which crews are able to use at protracted incidents.
