The role of a firefighter

Think you know about the role of firefighters? Think again . . .

Firefighting involves much more than putting out fires – we play a crucial role in the following.

Response

Prevention

 Protection

Have you got what it takes?

The role of a firefighter is very rewarding and it requires determination, motivation and a genuine desire to serve the community. Successful candidates will become part of a well-trained workforce, gaining skills such as team working, first aid, driving qualifications and health & safety knowledge.

These are some of the areas where we need our firefighters to show they have what it takes:

Some of these are tested in a specific way during the application process, others are measured as new recruits settle into their development training. Follow the links to find more information about fitnesseyesight and medical requirements, and the practical assessment day.
