Fire Safety Services in Farnborough
Farnborough is a town situated in the northernmost part of Hampshire, England, within the borough of Rushmoor. Sitting in the scenic Blackwater Valley at roughly 51°17′N 0°45′W, it lies just south of the M3 motorway (Junction 4), and immediately north of Aldershot and south of Camberley, while the River Blackwater forms part of its eastern boundary with Surrey and Berkshire. With a 2011 census population of about 57,500, the town has expanded significantly from its modest origins in Saxon times—once recorded in the Domesday Book as “Ferneberga,” meaning “fern hill”.
The town benefits from excellent transport links: Junction 4 of the M3 provides direct road access to London and the South Coast, while its two railway stations—Farnborough (Main) and Farnborough North—offer frequent services to London, Reading, and beyond. This connectivity has made Farnborough attractive for business, especially in aerospace, defence, and high-tech manufacturing.
Indeed, Farnborough is world-renowned for its aviation heritage and cutting‑edge industry. Home to Farnborough Airport and the biennial Farnborough International Airshow—a major global aerospace trade event—it’s also where Samuel Cody performed the first powered flight in Britain in 1908 at “His Majesty’s Balloon Factory”. The town hosts facilities linked to the former Royal Aircraft Establishment, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch, QinetiQ, and major companies like BAE Systems, Airbus, and Fluor, solidifying its role as a national centre for aerospace, defence, robotics, and communications tech.
Governance in Farnborough is administered by Rushmoor Borough Council, which it shares with neighbouring Aldershot. It lies within the jurisdiction of Hampshire County Council for area-wide services. Several significant educational institutions serve local residents, including Farnborough Sixth Form College, Wavell School, and the independent Salesian College; the Sixth Form College alone hosts around 4,000 students. This combination of historical importance, transportation links, industry concentration, and educational provision gives Farnborough a distinctive identity in Hampshire and the wider region.
