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?

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

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.
