Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service is
proud of being a modern and forward thinking
organisation which is working hard to remove
the typical stereotypes of what a firefighter
should be.
People often think the Fire and Rescue Service is
all about putting out fires and rescuing people
from road crashes. Think again!
At Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service,
the men and women on the frontline deliver
important fire safety advice to dozens of
different communities. From visiting schools
to care homes, mother and toddler groups to
LGBT history events and community fetes, our
firefighters play an integral role in keeping your
community safe. That’s why it’s so important that
our staff represent those communities they’re
serving.
Firefighting is not like any other job. It can be
unpredictable, exciting and rewarding coupled
with the satisfaction and respect that comes
with providing a crucial service to your local
community.
Successful applicants will be trained to carry out
rescue operations including fire fighting, but
an increasing part of the role is focused around
working in the community, educating people
to prevent incidents from happening in the first
place.
To continue driving forward, we need men and
women from all cultural and social backgrounds
to reflect the community that we serve.
If you would like to find out more about
working for our Fire and Rescue Service in the
21st Century, and to learn about our current
vacancies, please visit our website,

DRIVING
FORWARD
“We want to attract enthusiastic women and
men from a wide range of backgrounds who
have a passion for helping their communities
and show the potential to become
professional and competent firefighters.”
