Do something different with your spare time. Join an on-call crew.

Applications are now open for on-call firefighters across Lancashire, and we’re calling on people from all walks of life to consider doing something different with their spare time.

On-call firefighters live or work within five to eight minutes of their local station and respond to incidents when needed, alongside a close-knit team. They balance this with other responsibilities – whether that’s a full-time job, running a business, or raising a family.

This is a role for those who want to develop new skills, earn extra income, and make a real difference in their community. In return, we offer flexibility around your existing commitments, first-class training, and the opportunity to gain experience that’s highly valued in any workplace.

You don’t need any prior qualifications – just a good level of fitness, the right attitude, and a commitment to training. On-call firefighters attend weekly drill nights, respond to emergencies, and support their communities through prevention and protection work.

Could this be you?
If you:

• Are over 18,

• Live or work within five to eight minutes of an on-call station,

• Have a good standard of fitness, eyesight and hearing (aided or unaided),

• And want to give back to your community in a meaningful way,

…then we’d love to hear from you.
