The Role:
An on-call firefighter is a paid person employed by the fire and rescue service who is ‘on call’ to respond to emergencies and engage with their community. They maintain everyday lives and jobs until called upon, at which point they become professional firefighters.
The role may be considered ‘part-time’, but on-call firefighters are trained and experienced professionals on the front line, saving lives and protecting communities. They receive thorough training and develop skills related to emergency response and personal development.
On-call firefighters come from diverse backgrounds, including full-time or part-time employment, self-employment, studying, or unemployment. They dedicate their time to assist the fire and rescue service and help protect their communities.
This demanding role offers the opportunity to make a significant contribution. Teamwork and community engagement are vital aspects of the role, including attending community events.
Responsibilities include fighting fires, community fire safety, flooding response, co-responding, road accidents, chemical spills, and animal rescues.
Previous Experience: No prior experience is necessary as comprehensive training is provided. Enthusiasm and meeting certain essential criteria are important, including the ability to reach the fire station quickly and safely after being alerted. Physical fitness is crucial due to the physically demanding nature of the role.
Note: To be eligible, applicants must live or work within 5 minutes of the Fire Station. Applications from those outside this radius will be rejected.
