Job Description
On-call firefighters are trained firefighters who, rather than being based at a fire station, provide on-call cover from home and/or their place of work. They respond to emergencies when their pager alerts them, so must work and/or live within approximately four minutes travel time from the fire station. They travel from their work/home to the fire station, where they then travel to the emergency in a fire engine.
On-call firefighters declare the periods in a week when they are available to respond to emergencies if called upon. During these times they must remain within approximately four minutes travel time of their fire station to provide a response. They also attend a training evening at their station one night a week.
