Tankersley is a wholetime station providing fire cover to the residential areas of Hoyland, Birdwell, Wosborough, High Green and Chapeltown and also provides the first attendance to the smaller villages of Pilley, Tankersley, Wortley and Harley. Industrial and commercial areas covered include the Tankersley Platts Common and Chapeltown industrial estates. The station also provides the initial response to the M1, junctions 34-37, the A61 and the A616 Stocksbridge By-pass for road traffic collisions.

This station is now the mass decontamination and New Dimensions training facility for the service. Tankersley has a community room which can be booked direct with the Station Manager but unfortunately there is no disabled access.

Junior wardens courses are run here in conjunction with local schools. This is an 11 week course.
