Do you have the qualities we are looking for?
Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service are always looking for members of our community who can fulfil the demanding role of fire fighter on the Retained Duty System.
In most circumstances a fire fighter on the Retained Duty System has another job or career, and provides on call cover, part time, for the Fire Service either from home, or in some circumstances from their place of work.

Whilst there aren’t always vacancies at each station all the time, we run a rolling programme of recruitment all year round for Retained Duty System staff. If there are no current vacancies at the station of your choice, we will still process your application and, should you be successful, contact you when a vacancy arises.
