Retained Firefighter
The Position Limerick City and County Council invites applications from suitably qualified persons, who wish to be considered for inclusion on a panel from which temporary and permanent vacancies for Retained Fire-Fighter may be filled throughout the lifetime of the panel. The common image of the Fire & Rescue Service is naturally one of fire-fighters turning out in fire appliances and fighting fires. While some of the work involves attendance at fires, the role of the Fire & Rescue Service is much wider and the needs of the community much more varied. Limerick Fire & Rescue Service responds to all emergency calls from the public for assistance, primarily to protect life and save injury to individuals, but also to prevent and restrict damage to property. Many emergency calls, however, are not to fires, but to incidents where members of the community are trapped in vehicles following road traffic accidents, trapped in machinery, or trapped in less life threatening circumstances, as well as being called to chemical spillages and toxic emissions, river rescues, etc. To deliver this service to the public, Limerick Fire & Rescue Service has to develop operational plans, including the provision of adequate water supplies for fire fighting; ensure that effective arrangements exist to receive emergency ‘999’ calls and mobilise resources; implement effective operational communication systems throughout the Fire & Rescue Service; enforce, promote and encourage fire safety throughout Limerick by programmes of inspection and publicity; conduct effective training to develop the skills and abilities of personnel; and provide, maintain and repair its premises, vehicles, plant and equipment. The Fire-Fighter’s working life and training is geared to responding safely and effectively to emergency calls, regardless of weather conditions or the time of day or night. Every time Fire-Fighters are called to the scene of an emergency they must be prepared to deploy each and every skill in which they have been trained. When they arrive at an incident as part of a team under the command of an Officer, they may individually have to absorb a great deal of information rapidly and apply the skills they have learned in conditions which will often be extremely dangerous and confusing. Despite all the training given in preparation for such incidents, however, Fire-Fighters will from time to time be faced with new situations where they may individually be required to provide the answers using previous experiences as a guide. Fire-Fighters wearing breathing apparatus, feeling their way through a smoke filled building with toxic hazards, in order to effect a rescue, cannot ask for instructions. In order to function effectively in emergencies every fire-fighter’s pre-eminent characteristics must be those of: couragephysical strengththe capacity for rapid, intense and sustained effortan unquestioning acceptance of orders at emergenciescapacity to use initiative when alonethe skilled technician’s complete and automatic familiarity with the equipment and tools of the profession (which may range up to major items of plant such as hydraulic platform)a practical understanding of the basis of a wide range of subjects necessary to anticipate and overcome hazardssympathy towards victims of emergenciesability to carry on in what may occasionally be emotionally harrowing circumstances. Duties: Retained Fire-Fighters will perform under the control and direction of the Chief Fire Officer or their nominee, such fire-fighting duties including fire prevention duties, station routines, and other emergency duties that may be assigned from time to time. Retained Fire-Fighters will be expected to carry out the following non-exhaustive list of duties: All Retained Fire Fighters are required to both live & work within an agreed distance of the Fire StationBe available to respond in accordance with the attendance times to all emergency calls on the brigade being alerted, and remain on duty and undertake such activity as directed by the Officer-in-ChargeAttend and successfully complete all training courses both within and outside of Limerick City & County as designated by the Chief Fire OfficerAttend training nights as requiredAttend and complete all Special Duties as required by brigade managementDrive Fire Brigade vehiclesOperate Fire Brigade equipmentOperate within a ranked structure & comply with all lawful commands of managementComply with the Safety Health & Welfare at Work Act 2005 The Person 1.

Residence/Employment: Applicants who may be considered for membership are confined to those who reside in the area of the fire brigade and whose ordinary employment does not take them away from the area of the fire brigade. The Retained Fire Service is an emergency service and requires an immediate turnout – therefore the maximum acceptable time of travel from home and place of employment will be 7 minutes of the Newcastle West, Cappamore, Foynes, Abbeyfeale, Kilmallock & Rathkeale Fire Stations. 3.
