Have you ever thought about being a firefighter? The role of the modern firefighter has changed greatly in recent years, with more emphasis on fire prevention and community education. As a professional firefighter you will obviously still be required to put out fires when they occur, but do you have a clear view of what the job actually entails?

The Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service offers the opportunity for a challenging, active and varied career. It needs applicants of widely differing talents who seek a rewarding and interesting life in the vital business of firefighting and helping the public in all the misadventures of daily life. But more than this, firefighters who have gained the essential operational experience can be trained for positions of greater management responsibility such as Fire Safety Managers or Training Instructors. For the even more ambitious person, who is willing to undertake executive responsibility, there are opportunities to climb to the top of the promotional ladder.
