It comes from working together as a team in conditions which can be hazardous. That helps bind you together as few other jobs could. If you think you've got what it takes to join the team, contact your local brigade for more details. The address is in the phone book. Or call in at your local station where you can talk to the people already doing the job and find out what life as a firefighter is really like.
Fire brigades are equal opportunities employers.
They are committed to the principles of fairness and equality. Applications are welcomed from all men and women who meet the entry requirements. The only criteria which a brigade takes into account when recruiting are those which have a direct bearing on the candidate's ability to do the job. If you are accepted for a job in the Fire Service, you will be entitled to, and receive, equal consideration in matters of training and promotion, whether you are a man or a woman, and whatever your racial or ethnic background or marital status.
