Congratulations to our newest On-Call Firefighters!

A huge well done to our final On-Call recruits of 2026, who have today completed their two-week Safe to Ride course.

They’re now ready to put their training into action, supporting their local communities and beginning their careers as firefighters.

On-call firefighters are fully trained firefighters who provide cover from home and/or their place of work, responding to their fire station when alerted by pager.

Interested in joining them? We have more On-Call courses planned for 2027. Find out more about becoming an On-Call Firefighter on our website. https://www.northyorksfire.gov.uk/careers/our-roles/on-call-firefighters/
