Lorraine Moore Station Commander explains the role may involve a lot more than you think: “There’s a lot more to it than just fighting fires – you will work in your community to help protect the public and prevent emergencies from happening.
“Wholetime Firefighters… are trained not only in firefighting and dealing with road traffic collisions but also specialist skills such as water rescue, animal rescue, working at height, dealing with hazardous materials and learning to drive a fire appliance and specialist vehicle.”
To find out more and apply, head to the BFRS website.
