Retained Firefighters
Thank you for enquiring about the position of Retained Firefighter with Waterford City & County Council, we hope this information assists you in your application for the position. In most circumstances a Retained Firefighter has another job/career and provides on call cover for the Fire Service either from home, or in some circumstances, from their place of work. In the event of a fire call, the Retained Firefighter will be notified, typically by pager, and he/she must respond to the Fire Station immediately. All applicants for the position of Retained Firefighter must have the ability to respond to the fire station within 5 minutes of a call being sent to their pager, which the fire fighter carries. In most cases this will mean being within one mile from the station when you are providing cover. The Fire Service responds to all emergency calls from the public for assistance, primarily to protect life and save injury to individuals, but also to prevent and restrict damage to property. Many emergency calls, however, are not to fires, but to incidents where members of the community are trapped in vehicles following road traffic accidents, trapped in machinery, or trapped in less life-threatening circumstances, as well as being called to chemical spillages and toxic emissions, etc. The firefighter’s working life and training is geared to responding safely and effectively to emergency calls, regardless of weather conditions or the time of day or night. Every time firefighters are called to the scene of an emergency they must be prepared to deploy each and every skill in which they have been trained. Fully qualified firefighters are skilled technicians capable of using the most modern equipment, methods and techniques to undertake the full range of duties which can be deployed at any emergency incident. It is essential before applying for this position that you are aware of the on-going training demands and the personal commitment that must be given to fulfil the role of a Retained Firefighter. This includes being able to drop personal responsibilities at immediate notice to respond to a fire call, which may last anytime from 10 minutes, 10 hours, or longer. Staffing Operating under the Chief Fire Officer and Senior Officers of Waterford Fire Service, operational staffing includes: Retained Firefighters are required to do duty on a roster or on an availability scheme arrangement and be available in accordance therewith for fires and other incidents. Retained Firefighter Role The role of the firefighter is: • To save life and preserve endangered life. • Protection of property from damage by fire and from firefighting measures. • To render humanitarian services. • To inform and educate your community to improve awareness of safety. A firefighter must be: • at least 18 years of age on appointment • physically fit and agile with good stamina • able to work in hazardous conditions for long periods, including at heights and in confined spaces • mechanically adept with good dexterity and co-ordination • trustworthy, honest, dependable and generally of good character (see Garda Clearance) • self-reliant and self-assured with a keen sense of discipline • able to contribute to, and work within a team • able to understand and memorise technical information • able to communicate effectively verbally and in writing Health and Safety Health and Safety forms a key part in the role of every firefighter. i. It shall be the duty of every firefighter while at work: (a) to take reasonable care for his/her own safety, health and welfare and that of any other person who may be affected by his/her acts or omissions while at work; (b) to co-operate with his/her employer and any other person to such extent as will enable his/her employer or the other person to comply with any of the relevant statutory provisions; (c) to use in such manner so as to provide the protection intended, any suitable appliance, protective clothing, convenience, equipment or other means or thing provided (whether for his/her use alone or for use by him/her in common with others) for securing his/her safety, health or welfare while at work; and (d) to report to his/her employer or his/her immediate superior, without unreasonable delay, any defects in plant, equipment, place of work or system of work, which might endanger safety, health or welfare, of which he/she becomes aware. ii. No person shall intentionally or recklessly interfere with or misuse any appliance, protective clothing, convenience, equipment, item or other means provided in pursuance of any of the relevant statutory provisions or otherwise, for securing the safety, health or welfare of persons arising out of work activities. Garda Clearance The Service is in a position of trust with the public and has a duty to protect them. If you have a record of an offence, this will not necessarily disqualify you as all applications are considered strictly on their merit. However, you are required to declare any offence for which you have been convicted. You are advised to declare any charges that are pending; a subsequent conviction could lead to you being discharged from the Service. If you fail to disclose information when required to do so, this will render your application void and if you have been employed may result in termination of employment. A Garda clearance check will be carried out prior to your appointment to the Service. Should you be charged with an offence between the date of the application or appointment you must notify the Service in writing, as this may affect your employment in the Service. Training Retained Firefighters are required to attend and pass a three-week initial training course. To complete this training, each recruit will be required to attend a training centre selected by the Chief Fire Officer. The main purpose is to teach practical Firefighting skills incorporating search and rescue, and the safe use of equipment such as ladders, pumps and hose. This is followed by two weeks Breathing Apparatus training at a later stage. Failure to satisfactorily complete these training courses will demonstrate a lack of suitability for the position of Retained Firefighter and may result in termination of employment. On completion of the initial training, the recruit firefighter is required to undertake a recruit induction and development program over a specified period of time designed to equip them with the necessary skills in performing the duties assigned to them by the Chief Fire Officer. This will involve an ongoing requirement to attend and pass subsequent training and refresher training courses. Each Retained Firefighter is also required to attend a weekly 2 hour drill night and a 3 day block training course typically held in the Spring. Attendance at training is mandatory. This may result in absences from your current employment/career.
