there are no part-tiem firefighter posts, but there are Retained Duty System (RDS) at many of the stations in Berkshire, depends on where you live?

Hi ya thanks for the reply, i am aware of the retained system and am trying to move closer to a station so i can apply for there but i have heard of some small airfields on low cat needing part time people and some event fire cover companys, was just interested to know if anyone has any info one them
-
Steve-o what shift pattern works with 2 on 4 off, if you register yourself with Firetech they have part-time work at other airfields available at times
-
It's a very good one, thank you for the info tho have you done any work for them before ?
-
I know of 1 on 3 off shift patterns, but that is 24 hours on. Steve's may be 2x24 hours?

Go to google, click 'UK results only' & type in 'event fire cover' - several of the companies providing this in the UK come up on page 1.
