The Competition Galway County Council invites applications from suitably qualified persons who wish to be considered for inclusion on a panel from which permanent and fixed-term contract vacancies for the position of Retained Fire Fighter for Galway County Council shall be drawn. The employment is part-time and pensionable. Fire Service - Role Galway County Council is responsible for the provision of Fire and Rescue and a Fire Prevention service to Galway City and County on a shared service basis. The employment is part-time and pensionable. Galway Fire and Rescue 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. Emergency calls are not solely to fires, but to a wide variety of incidents such as road traffic accidents, machinery accidents, chemical spillages, toxic emissions and river rescues amongst others. To deliver this service to the public the Fire and Rescue Service has to develop operational plans, including the provision of adequate water supplies for firefighting; ensure that effective arrangements exist to receive emergency ‘999’ calls and mobilise resources; implement effective operational communication systems throughout the Fire and Rescue Service; enforce, promote and encourage fire safety within the County by programs of inspection and publicity; conduct effective training to develop the skills and abilities of personnel; and provide, maintain and repair its premises, vehicles, plant and equipment. Fully qualified fire-fighters are capable of using the most modern equipment, methods and techniques to undertake the full range of duties such as firefighting, rescue, attendance at road traffic accidents and other emergencies. The fire-fighter’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 fire-fighters are called to the scene of an emergency, they must be prepared to deploy each and every skill in which they have been trained. When they arrive at an incident as part of a team under the command of an Officer, they may individually have to absorb a great deal of information rapidly and apply the skills they have learned in conditions which will often be extremely dangerous and confusing. Despite all the training given in preparation for such incidents, however, fire-fighters will from time to time be faced with new situations where they may individually be required to provide the answers using previous experiences as a guide. Fire-fighters in an emergency situation may be wearing breathing apparatus, feeling their way through a smoke-filled building with toxic hazards, in order to affect a rescue. In order to function effectively in emergencies fire-fighters must demonstrate the following characteristics: • Courage and physical strength; • A capacity for rapid, intense and sustained effort; • An unquestioning acceptance of orders in emergency situations; • A capacity to use their own initiative when alone; • Complete and automatic familiarity with the equipment and tools of the profession (which may range up to major items of plant such as fire-fighting appliance vehicles); • A practical understanding of the basis of a wide range of subjects necessary to anticipate and overcome hazards; • Empathy with victims of emergency situations; • An ability to carry out their function in what may occasionally be emotionally difficult and harrowing circumstances. A Good Job: Working in the Fire Service is very appealing – it is action oriented, serving the community, with job satisfaction and high-level training. If you can meet the demands of a public service with a first-class reputation for dealing with all types of serious incidents, the Retained Fire Service can offer you a fulfilling and satisfying job. A Satisfying and Progressive Career: A career as a retained fire-fighter will be demanding both physically and mentally. You will be operationally 'on-call' once you have completed your recruit training and for the first year you will be on probation. You will be expected to absorb a wide range of information and to demonstrate your technical and practical skills through a series of assessments and examinations. Always Improving: Technological developments in every dimension of our lives and new hazards must be matched by improvements in fire-fighting techniques and equipment. A reasonable standard of education is desirable so that you can assimilate the technical work involved in today's service. The role of a modern fire-fighter is very challenging and rewarding and individuals are required to display determination, physical stamina and discipline in stressful situations. Fire Service - Duties Some of the Key Duties of a Retained Firefighter are: • Attend at fires and other emergencies, drills, displays and other duties at such times and for such periods as required by the County Council.
