Ansewr: F :censor: g big ones!

[jimma]

Me mate Jase wanted to be a fireman since he was 5. He got fit, took the medical and passed, took the apptitude and passed and - has enjoyed a career in.........The Royal Marines for the last 9 years!!! :o So if it's adventure your after theres an alternative for you. I hear Iraq is lovely this time of year. And you get to plkay with guns ;)

[jimma]

On a serious note, I think if they're not advertising you have to write to your Counties brigade HQ, simple as that(I think). Police and Ambulance you do, so I would imagine the sams are the same.

[Chappers]

Sorry, that was 'what STEPS would u take in the event of a fire?

Big ones

[Jimlad]

ok.. any idea where to find contact info etc ??

I'm in Lothian and Borders area in Scotland.

[Jimlad]

ah.... why thank you..... :)

Is anywhere recruiting ?? I would travel.

[Jimlad]

couldn't find anywhere that was recruiting... went as far south as yorkshire etc.

Mmmm....

Ok... next then... ?

[Nicola]

Shame you are not London based, or I could have got you some info.

I think its just a little too far.

I have 4 firemen in my family and they all love it (ranging from age 24 to 51).

For most its a job for life.

Good luck

[Jimlad]

do you know if they could get information such as what regions are currently recruiting etc ??

It's actually quite hard to find out, probably unless you are in the know.

What about the CADETS, well you will have to start somewere to get ur training, and you do wear a uniform

[Nicola]

Its not about wearing a uniform, you get to be a hero and have a very varied job.

Jimlad, I will see if my dad knows or can find out about other regions, let me the know the exact areas you would be willing to travel to.

He was in the first flush of fighting last February and he said "It really, really is the American airforce that our boys are mostly worried about" - from the horses mouth.
