Retained Firefighters are a vital part of today's Fire Service. They may be "part time" but when the call comes, they become part of a dedicated team ready to face any emergency - trained and capable people in the front line. The Retained Fire Station is an important part of the local community. When Retained Firefighters are called to attend emergencies, whether fires, floods, road accidents or other incidents, they could be saving the lives of their friends or neighbours.
As a Retained Firefighter, you will be required to attend a weekly drill night, and undertake to be "on call" in response to an alerter, either 24 hours per day, or fewer hours by prior arrangement.
You will be paid an annual retaining fee which ranges from £1,939 pa for Trainee Firefighter,
£2,020 pa for Development rate and competent Firefighter at £2,585. |
