In the 1900s, a fire station was built on Throwley Road. In 1928 the borough’s boundary changed and Sutton’s extended to include the Parish of Cheam, forming the Urban District of Sutton and Cheam and, in turn, creating the Sutton and Cheam Fire Brigade
During the Second World War the Brigade became part of the London Region for mobilising and was increased substantially with six substations operated by members of the Auxiliary Fire Service. These were mainly at former garages including, Belmont Garage and Cheam Motors. In 1941 all fire brigades in the United Kingdom were amalgamated to form the National Fire Service (NFS). In 1941 Sutton Fire Station became station H4Z of no.38 Fire Force Area
The NFS was disbanded in 1948 and Sutton returned to local authority control and became part of Surrey Fire Brigade. The current Sutton Fire Station was built in 1962. In 1965, with the formation of the new Greater London Council, Sutton Fire Station became part of London Fire Brigade.
The station responds to a variety of incidents including fires, flooding and road traffic collisions.
