QUALIFICATIONS Character A Firefighter must be of good character and shall not at any time bring the County Council into disrepute. Employment will be subject to the provision of satisfactory references and Garda Vetting. Age A Firefighter must be not less than 18 years on the first day of the month in which the latest date for receiving application forms occurs. A birth certificate must be submitted to the County Council as proof of age before a person is engaged as a recruit. Education Firefighters must have attained a satisfactory level of education to enable them to perform satisfactorily as a Firefighter and to successfully undergo the appropriate training. Health Each candidate must be free from any defects which would render that person unsuitable to perform the duties of the post and be in a state of health such as would indicate a reasonable prospect of ability to render regular and efficient service. For the purpose of satisfying this requirement, it will be necessary to undergo at the candidate’s own expense an initial medical examination, by a qualified medical practitioner to be nominated by Westmeath County Council. Note the requirement to complete and pass the Chester Step Test detailed below. Given the strenuous nature of fire-fighting duties the medical examination will be of a very thorough nature. Please note that the following disabilities will render an applicant unsuitable for fire-fighting duties and will lead to disqualification at the examination. history of epilepsy alcohol or drug dependency obesity chronic bronchitis or asthma or other disabling disease of the lungs organic disease of the cardio vascular system diabetes mellitus unaided vision less than 6/12 in either eye inability to hear a forced whisper or conversational voice separately in either ear at 20 feet evidence of labyrinthine disturbance a history of vertigo or an illness which would affect sense of balance history of mental instability They will also be required to comply fully with the requirements of the “Occupational Health Scheme for Members of the Retained Fire Service” as published by the Local Government Management Services Board in July 2005.

Please note that it is recommended that Retained Fire-fighters be vaccinated against the Hepatitis B Virus and in this regard the vaccine will be made available free of charge to successful candidates. Fitness Test Part of the pre-employment medical examination includes completing the fitness test. Candidates successful at interview must successfully complete the fitness test prior to employment being offered. The fitness test at the recruit medical is the Chester Step Test. The Chester Step Test measures aerobic capacity and fitness and entails a moderately vigorous level of physical activity. The level of fitness needed to pass this test requires regular exercise and the test pass level is difficult to achieve if the candidate does not already have a good level of physical fitness prior to the test. Medical examiners advice is that fitness needed for this test does not come overnight; realistically it takes at least a few weeks and often longer to appreciably improve a candidate’s fitness level. Residence Only applications from competent persons who reside and work within a reasonable distance of the fire station of the relevant unit and whose ordinary activity does not take them away from the town, in which a brigade is located, will be considered.

Attendance at Drills & Incidents There is an obligation on Firefighters to attend at alert/fire calls and at drills. This is the basis on which a retainer is paid. The onus on arranging to receive an alert/fire call shall rest with the Firefighter. • Drills Notwithstanding any other disciplinary action that the County Council may apply, failure to attend or participate in 85% of all drills in any quarter of a year, without good reason, will be addressed through the Local Authority’s disciplinary procedure. • Incidents In the case of an alert/fire call the Firefighter shall attend all calls within their Rostered-On duty Period (24 Weeks per annum). Firefighters who attend calls will be remunerated as per the Crew Management Arrangements for Retained Firefighters as operated by Westmeath County Council. Where the Chief Fire Officer considers that a Firefighter is not fulfilling the above attendance standards which he/she considers reasonable in all the circumstances, the Chief Fire Officer will consider the matter of attendance under the Council’s disciplinary policy. Subsequent continuing failure to meet the above attendance standards, without good reason, shall be dealt with through the disciplinary procedure, and may result in termination of service at the absolute discretion of the County Council. Availability Written evidence must be provided from the employer as to the fire-fighter's availability to turn up to all call-outs of the Fire Brigade and to attend any courses arranged by the Fire Service prior to appointment, and the County Council in its sole discretion, shall decide as to whether the availability as so provided is acceptable.

Self-employed must also provide written evidence as to availability prior to appointment. Such written evidence must cover a candidate's availability for initial training and for fire and other calls, drills, training and such other duties which the firefighter may be required by the County Council to perform.

Satisfactory written evidence from employer must be submitted to the Council agreeing to the availability of the Retained Fire Fighter for training, fire and other calls, drills and such other duties as a Retained Firefighter may be required to perform. • If in the future, a successful candidate should change residence or employment and as a consequence is outside the 1.5 mile radius or reasonable distance of the fire station, it will be necessary for the Council to terminate their employment. The firefighter is further obliged to notify the Chief Fire Officer and HR Officer in Human Resources immediately of: (a) new address if they should change residence (b) any change of conditions in their current employment which would require them to leave the town (c) the name and address of their employer should they change or obtain employment.
