Could you be an on-call firefighter in Ingatestone?

Have you ever considered becoming an on-call firefighter? Ingatestone Fire Station is on the lookout for new recruits - and this could be your opportunity to get involved.

On-call firefighters are everyday people who play an extraordinary role in supporting their community. They live or work within five minutes of their local fire station and are ready to respond to emergencies whenever needed. Many manage their fire service commitment around their full-time jobs, family life, studies, or even during the night, with their pager close by, ready to respond.

Watch Manager Kirk Collins, from the On-Call Liaison team, said:

"Being an on-call firefighter is such a rewarding role. You’ll be helping people when they need it most, learning valuable new skills and becoming part of a dedicated team. At Ingatestone, we’re proud of the service we provide, but we can only continue to do that with the support of people in the local area. If you live or work nearby, can respond quickly when your pager goes off, and want to make a real difference, we’d love to welcome you."

If you’re over 18, physically fit, and live or work within five minutes of Ingatestone Fire Station, Fryerning Lane, CM4 0HH, you could get paid to serve your community as an on-call firefighter.
