Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service is looking to recruit new whole-time firefighters and are taking the challenge out to the people. Raising public awareness and generating good public engagement can be a bit of a challenge, so this time, instead of inviting people to the station to get a feel for what we do, we have decided to hit the road.

Group Manager Liam Wilson said,
"Instead of inviting people to the station to run through some drills, we decided to visit a number of community venues to show people what we do and how we do it”.

Group Manager Wilson, who's also been heavily involved in bringing these events to fruition said:
"We're hoping to use this opportunity to engage with people across the county and show them what the role of a modern firefighter involves. This includes the operational and preventative activities that we undertake. During the Have a Go events, we will be looking to carry out some of the activities that people can expect to do as part of the recruitment course, such as hose running, equipment carrying and dummy dragging as well as the more light-hearted 30 second fire kit challenge, which usually generate a competitive spirit and more than a few laughs”.
If you have the desire to make a difference and fancy having a go, join us at one of our events. You never know, you might find that you've got exactly what it takes to become a modern firefighter in LFRS.
