Age Each candidate must be at least 18 years of age on 1st September 2026. Retirement age for Retained Firefighters is 55 years of age (up to 62 years of age subject to conditions). 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 nominated by Cork County Council. Note the requirement to complete and pass the Chester Step Test detailed below. On taking up appointment, the expense of the medical examination will be refunded to the candidate. Retained Firefighters will be required to undergo regular and ad-hoc medical examinations at any time. Given the strenuous nature of firefighting duties, the medical examination will be of a very thorough nature. Please note that the following disabilities will render an applicant unsuitable for firefighting duties and will lead to disqualification at the examination: History of epilepsy Alcohol or drug dependency Obesity Chronic bronchitis, asthma, or other disabling disease of the lungs Organic disease of the cardiovascular 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 Please note that it is recommended that Retained Firefighters be vaccinated against the Hepatitis B Virus and, in this connection, 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 advise that the fitness needed for this test does not come overnight; realistically it takes at least a few weeks, and often longer, to appreciably improve your fitness level. Candidates who fail the initial Chester Step Test will be offered one further fitness test only. This may be a Chester Step Test or a Shuttle Run test, as determined by Cork County Council. No further retests will be offered. Residence / Availability Only applications from competent persons who reside and work within 2 miles 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.

Unemployed persons are not precluded from applying, provided that they satisfy the residence and availability requirements.

After the employment has been confirmed, it will be terminable at any stage on the giving of the required notice by either side under the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act 1973, or without notice in circumstances justifying immediate dismissal.

Any change of residence or place of work that puts the Firefighter at a distance or turnout time greater than that permitted by the Chief Fire Officer from the Fire Station, or to a location unacceptable to the Chief Fire Officer, will result in termination of employment as a Firefighter.

Annual Leave Four weeks annual leave per annum in addition to the annual payment of the retainer. Furthermore, payment for annual leave is confirmed as being 8% of earnings. These earnings will be calculated on the basis of the previous year’s earnings excluding the retainer, clothing allowance, and payment for annual leave and public holiday leave in the previous year.

Members of brigades shall be subject to such rules and regulations as may be issued from time to time. It should be particularly noted that Retained Firefighters must, in the matter of drills, attendance at fires, or in other emergencies, comply strictly with the orders and discretion of the Station Officer or, in his absence, such other brigade member as may be in charge. Any Retained Firefighter guilty of infringement of this regulation will be dismissed.

While on duty, Retained Firefighters shall use the clothing and personal equipment provided by the Council, and same shall be left in the station immediately after the cessation of duty.
