What training and equipment is provided to the Firefighters?
Retained Firefighters volunteer to be First Responders. All Firefighters have First Aid training but First Responders are given additional training in more advanced techniques by the Ambulance Service. Following eight hours of training the Firefighter is required to sit an exam, on successful completion of this exam they can become a First Responder. Every six months a reassessment takes place to ensure that the highest standards are maintained.
