Information and practice days

Attending an Information and Practice Day is the first step in the recruitment process for many of our candidates. It’s not compulsory to attend but is a great, no-strings-attached way to get a taste for the role and kick-start your journey to become a Career Firefighter.

What the session covers

Not only will you hear about why this is an epic career, our team will also be there to provide you with guidance and helpful tips to put your best foot forward in the recruitment process.

We'll take you through:

  • What a firefighter does.
  • A breakdown of the recruitment process and how to prepare.
  • What the Recruit Training Course entails.
  • Tools of the trade such as fleet and equipment.
  • Opportunity to practice the Physical Pre-Entry Test(PPT).
  • A chance to pick our firefighters brains and hear firsthand why they reckon it’s the best job in the world!
