Can I be a firefighter? Yes you can!
Firefighters are just ordinary people who do extraordinary things when they come to work. Meet some of our staff here and find out how they make a difference in their community and why being a firefighter is such a rewarding career with great prospects.
For anyone thinking of joining the fire service, I would say yes you can. There is no reason why anybody couldn’t join the fire service. It is probably the best thing I have done.
