RECRUITING FIRE
FIGHTERS
If
you want to help people, work well with others, enjoy learning and
are physically fit, you may be an ideal candidate for a fire fighter
with the Town of Holyrood.
The
firefighter's job
To be a Firefighter is both challenging and rewarding. Apart from
fighting fires, you will perform many additional duties, some of
which include:
- search and rescue
- educating the public about fire prevention
- responding to hazardous material emergency situations
- conducting inspections
- responding to medical emergencies and motor vehicle
accidents
You must be
physically fit to handle the sustained, intense, physical effort
often required to perform these duties.
Teamwork is
everything, whether it is sharing routine tasks at the fire station
or providing fire-fighting services at an emergency scene.
Firefighters depend on each other to successfully perform their
duties.
Fire fighting is
not a 9-to-5 job. It is a 24 hours a day, seven days a week public
service. It involves responding to emergency situations whenever
required including nights, weekends and holidays.
The
Town of Holyrood Fire Department trains every Monday night and
welcomes anyone interested in becoming a Firefighter to drop by the
station or contact Chief Chris Kieley (709-229-4593)
