We're looking for people with different skills and capabilities, outside the 'traditional' role of a firefighter, who want to join a team that's prepared for anything. At Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) we do more than fight fires.
This is a recording from the 6pm Recruitment Information Session held on the 11 May 2022. Speakers from across all information sessions have been included in this video.
Applications open on the 1 June 2022.
