Whether you’re working full-time, seeking flexibility, or balancing family life, becoming an on-call firefighter gives you the chance to do something truly remarkable alongside your everyday routineand you get paid for it. It’s more than a role; it’s an opportunity to make a real impact in your community while developing valuable skills and joining a supportive team.
On-call firefighters respond to a wide range of emergencies and play an essential role in keeping their communities safe. Unlike full-time crews who stay at the station, they’re alerted to incidents and respond from home or work, arriving within an agreed turn-out time. You’ll commit set hours each week, arranged around your work, family, or hobbies, making this a professional, paid role with flexibility, variety, and purpose.
On-call firefighters receive the same high-standard training as full-time colleagues and attend the same incidentsfrom building fires and road traffic collisions to animal rescues and flooding.
