Welcome to our official website
Hello and welcome to our website where you’ll find information on safety advice, details about our performance and ways in which you can become involved in our work.
Our first recruitment campaign for wholetime firefighters in six years has now finished. This is an exciting organisation to work for and it’s not all about putting out fires. We have an important role to play in preventing fires and road accidents taking place. As a firefighter you’ll be working with your local community, providing fire safety advice, and home safety visits, as well as responding to emergencies.
The fire service is a great organisation to work for and where better to be based than in the South West. For more information on how to apply to be a firefighter or to become a member of our professional and support or Control staff please follow the links on the Recruitment part of the site.
We have also published our Corporate Plan for 2009/10 - 2011/12 and you may find this interesting as it outlines our priorities and commitments to the public.
Thank you for taking the time to visit the site and I hope you find everything that you are looking for. We will soon be placing a survey online so you can let us know what you think, in the meantime, please contact us with any comments. Lee Howell - Chief Fire Officer.
