Retained Firefighters

Retained Firefighters are an essential part of the Service and provide an “on – call” part-time service, responding to fire and emergency calls in the same way as Wholetime Firefighters, using the same appliances and equipment. Our Retained Firefighters may be builders, shopkeepers, typists or technicians; however they are trained to our high standards and remain on call from their home as opposed to a Fire Station.

Each of the North East Fire Services carry out individual recruitment for Retained Firefighters.
