The role of the retained firefighter is primarily to: • Save life and preserve endangered life • Protect property from damage by fire • Inform and educate awareness of safety Retained firefighters are on call to respond to emergencies. As well as responding to emergency calls, firefighters may also be involved in community fire safety initiatives.

When a call is received firefighters are required to respond immediately. Retained firefighters must be ready to drop whatever they are doing, to become part of a team ready to respond safely and effectively to the emergency, regardless of the time of day/night or the weather conditions.
