Call for more on-call firefighters at Coledale Fire Station

Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) is calling for community-minded men and women to consider joining the on-call firefighter ranks at Coledale Fire Station.

On-call firefighters respond from home or work to fires and other emergencies. There are currently a number of vacancies for on-call firefighters at Coledale Fire Station.

“Your local fire station relies on people in the community to put their hand up to become firefighters – without that support, regional fire stations cannot survive,” he said.

On-call firefighters balance work and family commitments to respond to fires and other emergencies on an ‘on call’, part-time basis.

On-Call Firefighter training includes advanced first aid, heavy vehicle driving, and how to deal with emergencies such as fires, road accidents and hazardous material spills. Firefighters also educate the community on fire safety and prevention.

“Being an on-call firefighter does not mean that you have to be available every minute of every day,” he said.

“Sharing availability with other on-call firefighters can reduce any potential impact on work and private life.”

On-Call firefighters played a critical role in the delivery of fire and emergency services across regional and rural NSW.

“You don’t need to be superman or superwoman to be a firefighter – we want people who are reliable and keen to help others, especially local residents who are available to respond to emergencies during the day,” he said.

“If you’re a local employer, think about encouraging your staff to become firefighters. Not only will you be helping the community, but your staff will be trained in a whole range of skills.”

For more information on becoming an on-call firefighter, contact the FRNSW Zone Office on 02 4224 2041, visit www.fire.nsw.gov.au or visit the link Below.

SANTA RUN CANCELLED
It is with much regret that we have had to cancel this year’s Santa Run, which was scheduled for tomorrow the 25th of December 2021.

Increasing numbers of COVID cases have caused Fire and Rescue NSW to temporarily put a stop to all non-essential community engagement activities, and our utmost priority, always, is to protect the community. We’re very sorry to have to bring this news to you after what has already been a very difficult year for everyone.

From all of us at 258 Coledale, we wish you a wonderful Christmas, and a very happy new year. Let’s hope 2022 is a much better year for everyone!
