Retained Firefighters

When they receive the alert, Firefighters then have a maximum of 5 minutes to attend the station and quickly change into their Fire Kit and leave the station in a fire appliance. Normally a minimum crew of 5 highly skilled Firefighters will leave the station ready to tackle whatever emergency awaits them in a speedy and professional manner, saving lives, businesses and communities.
