Ely Community Fire Station serves the main residential areas of Ely, Cardiff and the surrounding areas of Llandaff North, Canton, Fairwater, Pentrebane and St Fagans.  There are approximately 29,700 domestic properties covering a geographical area of some 5,551 hectares. The estimated population of this area is around 69,000 people.

Ely Community Fire Station joins the ‘Jasmine’ community centre, which offers employment advice and other council services to members of the community. The centre also has an Arson Reduction Team, which is temporarily based at the Station.

As well as residential property, Ely Community Fire Station also serves a number of hospitals, schools, halls of residence and a large amount of light industrial areas. Others include the Museum of Welsh Life at St Fagans, the shopping centres at Culverhouse Cross and the ITV Wales studios.

With the completion of the Jasmine centre and the deployment of an emergency duty ambulance which is on standby in the appliance room, the Station is well placed to integrate itself into the heart of the local community.
