In a post on the Street Fire Station Facebook page it says: "Again we say thanks to the families at home for your patience and to the employers that let our firefighters respond from their places of work!"

All of the firefighters at Street are on-call firefighters, which means that they respond from their homes or work places rather than a fire station, and most will have other jobs too.
