Further information

If you are looking for a job with variety, a challenge and good career progression, why not think about becoming a London firefighter?

One of your most important roles will be to tell Londoners about fire safety and fire prevention, particularly older people, children and people whose first language is not English. You will also visit people in their homes to carry out fire safety visits, advising businesses.

You will also be expected to know the risks and potential hazards found in the area your fire station covers. Constant practice, training in new skills, exercises and going to lectures are all essential to keeping your skills sharp as well as maintaining your physical fitness.
