On-call Firefighters
On-call firefighters live and/or work within the local community, and are paid to respond to emergencies during whatever periods of cover have been agreed. When he pager goes off, a firefighter can be called to a wide range of incidents, such as commercial and domestic fires, road traffic collisions, rescues from height or water, animal rescue or flooding.
Station Manager Neil Tidball, said: “The role of a firefighter is very rewarding, and it requires determination, courage, motivation, and a genuine desire to serve the community. Successful candidates will become part of a welltrained workforce, earning additional income, and gaining transferable skills such as first aid, driving qualifications and health & safety knowledge – which can also benefit them in their primary employment.”
