Local emergency services form an important part of our community.
Firefighters do a whole range of jobs from attending fires to helping at all sorts of incidents.
As a member of our retained fire service you might be called to floods, road accidents or chemical spills. What you need to apply To apply to join the service you don't need any paper qualifications. In addition to an annual retaining fee, we offer additional payment for each call-out and extra duties. You will also be paid for attending training courses and there are long-service bounty payments.
