Alconbury Air Base Fire Department

== Area Served ==
Royal Air Force Alconbury or RAF Alconbury is an active Royal Air Force station near the village of Alconbury, Cambridgeshire in the East Anglia region of the United Kingdom. Opened in 1938 for use by RAF Bomber Command and as a satellite base for nearby RAF Wyton during the early days of World War II, the station has been used since 1942 by United States Forces. Since May 2007, the USAF host unit at Alconbury has been the 501st Combat Support Wing which oversees and supports four Air Base Groups operating a total of eleven installations in the U.K. and Norway. On 8 January 2015, it was announced by the Pentagon that RAF Alconbury as well as nearby RAF Molesworth would be closing by 2020 with most of their units and personnel relocating to RAF Croughton. Changing security conditions has caused USEUCOM to reconsider these plans. On 22 March 2021, the UK Ministry of Defence approved a US DOD request to allow Royal Air Force Alconbury to remain open and operate as an enduring base for US Visiting Forces.
