Our Firefighters

Firefighters make a vital contribution to the safety of their community.  Becoming a Firefighter provides you with a worthwhile and rewarding role, serving the local community.  It is also an opportunity to work as part of a team, receive excellent training and gain a wide range of skills.

Firefighting is not like any other job, it can be unpredictable, exciting and rewarding.  Firefighters do not just respond courageously to emergencies. They are involved in community education, fire and accident prevention activities all designed to protect the local community.

Our service is made up of 856 Wholetime Firefighters and 994 On-Call Firefighters.
