Women and Career Firefighting Information Session

As some of you will be aware CFA has been actively encouraging a diverse range of people from our community to think about firefighting as a career choice for a few years now.

As part of these efforts we regularly hold information sessions which provide an opportunity for people to gain a greater understanding of the role and the organisation. We will again be holding an Information Session; this first one is specifically aimed at attracting more women to think about Firefighting as career choice.

If you know a family member or friend who may be interested, you are most welcome to forward this information on.

For general information relating to career firefighter recruitment check CFA’s public website under ‘Joining CFA’.

Please feel free to contact Martin Penrose or Pam Mitchell, (numbers listed below), if more information is required.
