Firefighter Jobs in Australia

The job of a firefighter is to assist in emergency cases – wildfires, accidents, building fires, rescue operations, natural disasters and other emergency situations. Bring your high energy and gusto for saving lives to work because firefighters are on the run throughout the day (and night!). In addition to dealing with emergency situations, firefighters are also regularly involved with activities and programs to prevent fires, public education, workshop duties and checking and maintaining of firefighting equipment. Firefighters are in constant contact with other emergency services, and need to be available throughout the day for leaving what they were busy with and rush over to emergency scenes. Professional firefighters are often assisted by volunteer firefighters – but first the volunteers need basic training on equipment handling and dealing with emergency cases. Firefighters are therefore responsible for the training of volunteers on equipment, evacuation procedures and basic first aid to fire victims.
