Being a firefighter is about much more than responding to emergencies.
In fact, only around 5% of a firefighter’s time is spent attending incidents. The rest is spent working to protect our communities.
A career like no other, a Service like no other.

Candles create warmth and ambiance, but they also post a serious fire risk - never leave them unattended.
We strongly advise you don’t light candles in your escape routes - like doorways, hallways, landings, and staircases - keep them clear!
