The role of a modern day firefighter involves much more than bursting into a burning building to save someone’s life. In fact, we spend the majority of our time talking to people to try and prevent fires from happening in the first place. So when it comes to recruiting new firefighters into our team, we place just as much emphasis on personal qualities as we do on physical attributes. To find out if you’ve got what it takes to join the country’s second largest fire and rescue service, take a look around the site. You might be surprised how varied and rewarding a career with us can be.
