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.
"I’ve learnt so many skills and made a lot of friends and it’s brought the best out of me as a person."
"If you really want to go for it, you can do it and make your dreams come true. I did and I’ve never regretted it – this is the best job I’ve ever had."
"Being a firefighter is like joining a very specialist team and it’s an incredible career to have."
Full time or Wholetime firefighters ensure our busiest fire stations are crewed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As well as responding to everything from fires to road traffic collisions, they also spend a lot of time in working in the community to provide advice and education to help prevent emergencies happening in the first place.
