Cumbria County Council’s Fire and Rescue Service is launching a fresh recruitment drive to find additional on-call firefighters. Around 47 on-call firefighters are needed at a total of 23 fire stations across the county. Firefighters are needed at: Wigton, Workington, Cockermouth, Keswick, Silloth, Walney, Bootle, Coniston, Ulverston, Grange, Longtown, Alston, Brampton, Patterdale, Shap, Staveley, Kirkby Stephen, Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh, Kendal, Appleby, Arnside and Milnthorpe. Call rates vary from fire station to fire station, with some of Cumbria’s on-call stations responding to over 200 calls a year and others as few as 15. The fire service is looking for men and women from all different backgrounds who are fit, healthy, up for a challenge and prepared to commit to the role.
We keep it Simple
and get Results
The pay scales for an on-call firefighter are:
• A retainer of £2,158 - £2,877 dependent on the cover provided • An hourly rate of £13.14 when competent in your role • An on-call firefighter can earn on average £6,000 a year
If successful, the new on-call firefighters will be expected to attend a two-hour training session at their fire station each week plus additional core training courses in order to maintain operational skills. The nature of the on-call duty system also requires firefighters to live or work within five minutes of their station so they can respond to emergency calls. On-call firefighters are contracted to provide an agreed number of ‘availability’ hours and only attend the fire station when they have received an emergency callout. Each on-call firefighter carries a pocket alerter, which is activated when they are needed and they subsequently report to the fire station and mobilise the necessary fire appliance(s). On most stations weekday ‘day cover’ between 8am – 6pm in addition to weekend cover is required.

• Our rates could save you up to two thirds of your recruitment budget
“I’d urge people in the areas we’re looking to recruit to consider applying to become part of the Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service team. There’s lots of advice and support available to help get potential recruits through the selection process and firefighters on hand to answer any questions they might have about what the role entails.”

A series of open days are being held so people interested in becoming on-call firefighters can visit their local station to chat to the crews, have a go at some of the tests and find out more about what this lifesaving role entails.
