On-call firefighter myth busting 🧑‍🚒

• You don’t need to be six foot tall.
• You don’t need firefighting experience.
• You don’t need to quit your job.
• You don’t do it for free.

You just need to live locally and be ready to respond 🚒

Apply today!

Meet Jordan. He’s an on-call firefighter at Kempston Community Fire Station 🧑‍🚒

👨‍👧 Father. Drone Pilot. On-call firefighter.

Jordan balances family life and work — while staying ready to respond at a moment’s notice.

“My primary employer is very supportive and allows me to respond straight away. The role requires flexibility, especially balancing work and family commitments — but knowing I’m helping others makes it all worthwhile.”

You don’t have to choose between your career and your community.

📍 Live near Kempston or one of our priority stations?

This could be your calling.

Meet Abi. She’s an on-call firefighter at Ampthill Community Fire Station 👩‍🚒

“Being an on-call firefighter can be a juggling act — managing availability, drill nights and training alongside work and personal life. It’s definitely for the committed. But being part of a great team and having the chance to do some real epic stuff makes it the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s all about helping the community we love when they’re in need.”

Ordinary job.
Extraordinary moments.
Could you do both?
