For three weeks only we have opened our On Call Firefighter recruitment!
From 1st of March until the 22nd of March our applications ARE OPEN, but you must work or live within a 5-minute radius of one of our on call stations.
On call firefighters can be anything from factory workers, cooks and farmers to caters, stay at home parents or students.
They’re doing everyday jobs until the call comes and then quite literally they put on their other hat and become professional firefighters. That’s not some kind of back up team, it’s front-line saving lives.
Do you work or live within a five minute radius of an on-call fire station and are interested in becoming an on-call firefighter?
If the answer is 'Yes':
You will have to be able to get to an incident within 5 minutes of receiving a pager message (driving at normal road speeds).
Select your nearest station from the list below by clicking the station title. On the station page there is a link to check if you are within a five minute radius of the station. This will take you to an interactive map where you can check your distance from the station. This step is important.
