On Call Firefighter recruitment!
Our applications ARE OPEN for on call firefighter recruitment, 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.
