Firefighter taster session

Essex County Fire and Rescue Service

This session is open to all. <A HREF="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/firefighter-taster-session-for-women-tickets-54129636199" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer"> </A>
Are you thinking about becoming a firefighter?
Whether you’re interested in applying to one of our on-call fire stations, or think you might apply to become a wholetime firefighter in 2019, here’s your chance to find out more about the role of a modern day firefighter. 
Come along to find out more about the role and try out some of the physical tests you’d need to perform during recruitment and training. Our firefighters and fitness advisors will all be on hand to offer advice and support.
No two days are the same when you’re a firefighter. Our role has developed and so has our place in the community. Firefighting isn’t just about fighting fires. As well as the varied incidents you could attend, such as road traffic collisions and floods, you are just as likely to be carrying out a home safety visit, talking to the community about fire safety or working with our partners to support a campaign.
If you’re looking for a long-term career with flexibility, prospects for progression firefighting is an ideal career. Many of our current firefighters have families and come from all backgrounds and a range of ages.
Residents from Essex and the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Redbridge and Waltham Forest are all invited to attend.
Please ensure you bring a drink and wear sportswear on the day. 
There is no parking at the venue - please plan your journey before you arrive and park considerately.
