We are encouraging people who have a passion for helping their local community to apply to become on-call firefighters. Applications are open until Tuesday 8th November for training courses commencing on 6th March 2023 and 20th March 2023.
We employ people from all walks of life, ranging from self-employed tradespeople and stay-at-home parents to employees of small businesses and large, well-known organisations.
Working as an on-call firefighter means being involved in a wide range of activities in your local area, from responding to emergency calls to carrying out work in local communities to support their needs or providing prevention advice to help keep them safe. In return, the fire service can offer flexibility around study, work, and family commitments, first class training and development opportunities and a chance to make a difference in your local community.
Paul Farman, Watch Manager at Lytham Fire Station, advises anyone interested in applying to come down to a drill night at their local station. “When I joined, I came to drill nights for six months before I went on a recruit’s course. You get a real feel for what it’s like, you see the crew, the crew get to know you, and you see if you fit in too. We can help you with your fitness and prepare you for what’s to come and we can even discuss childcare and contractual arrangements.”
We will be holding recruitment days at stations across the county for potential applicants to drop in, meet the crew and find out more.
