Hi fella. Can't help with that one, but I'm in the same boat as you... I'm a retained fire-fighter from Lancashire, so I'm hoping the tests will be pretty similar. It's just written tests at this stage isn't it?

I'm not  sure mate, in fact i'm totally clueless. Its so difficult to find any info on the airport fire selection process. Logic would say written test like the local authority. If i hear anything i'll post, if not good luck pal.
