Real Cuerpo de Bomberos Voluntarios de Santander, Volunteer fire station in Plaza Numancia, Santander, Spain.

The Real Cuerpo de Bomberos Voluntarios de Santander is a volunteer fire brigade headquartered at Plaza Numancia in the city center. The station maintains a fleet of vehicles and equipment to respond to emergencies throughout Santander.

Fire guards existed in Santander since 1535, and the modern Compañía de Artilleros-Bomberos was formed in 1834. After the steamship Cabo Machichaco exploded on 3 November 1893, killing over 500 people including nearly half the city's firefighters, a popular initiative founded the volunteer corps on 10 October 1894, the first of its kind on the Iberian Peninsula. King Alfonso XIII granted it the title of Real in 1901.

The brigade is not a municipal service: it operates alongside the city's own fire service and receives an annual subsidy from the Santander council. Its base is the 1905 station by architect Valentín Ramón Lavín Casalís on Plaza Numancia, and the current roster numbers twenty-one volunteers.

The station stands on Plaza de Numancia in the city centre, in a building inaugurated in 1905 and designed by architect Valentín Ramón Lavín Casalís. The active roster is small: twenty-one volunteers with three pump trucks and two 4x4 vehicles. The brigade is not a municipal service, so it shares firefighting duties with the city's own service and receives an annual subsidy from the council.

The brigade holds a royal title granted by the Spanish crown, distinguishing it from most other volunteer fire organizations. This recognition marks its special standing in local history.
