Firefighter recruitment

Join the team that’s prepared for anything

We are putting the call out to everyone in NSW; those who could make excellent firefighters but may not have necessarily considered it.

At Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) we do more than fight fires.

We are looking for candidates with a broad range of skills to meet the challenging and rewarding nature of the job, both for Permanent (full-time) and Retained (on-call) Firefighter positions.

Permanent (full-time) Firefighters

Permanent Firefighters are full-time firefighters who stay at the fire station. They are usually based around highly populated areas. Recruitment is on a yearly basis.

Retained (on-call) Firefighters

Retained Firefighters are on-call firefighters who respond from home or work to the fire station when there is an emergency. Recruitment is all year round based upon your closest fire station.
