On call firefighters at Lanark Community Fire Station
Please feel free to message the page if interested or you would like more information about the role.
On call firefighters are a vital part of the SFRS, providing a professional emergency fire and rescue service to their local communities 24/7.
The role of an on call firefighter is not a full-time role. They report to the community fire station to respond to an emergency call out, from their home or their primary place of work, during their agreed on call hours. On call firefighters also deliver community safety programmes and attend weekly training nights to maintain operational standards.
What's involved?
COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES - Educate the local community on fire safety and carry out home fire safety visits / deliver fire safety advice and identify potential risks within the home, delivering important water safety and prevention of wildfire advice.
OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES - Attend all types of emergencies, e.g. fires, road traffic collisions, rescue of persons, floods, incidents involving hazardous materials as well as supporting partner agencies when required.
NON-OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES - Develop and maintain skills by attending drill nights, training courses and exercises.
