🚒 THINK YOU CAN'T BE A FIREFIGHTER BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE A JOB? THINK AGAIN! 🚒

Here's something you might not know about Kariong Fire Station.

Every single one of our firefighters has another job!

We're not full-time firefighters. We're on-call firefighters, which means we have regular jobs, families and commitments outside the fire station, just like everyone else.

Some of us are at work, some are at home and some might be enjoying a day off when the pager goes off. When we're available, we drop what we're doing and head to the station to help our community.

And yes, we get paid for it! 💰

🔥 Paid training, with no previous firefighting experience required

🔥 Around $40 an hour once qualified

🔥 A minimum of 1.5 hours' pay for every callout

🔥 An additional fortnightly on-call allowance

🔥 Opportunities to learn new skills and gain qualifications

With around 700 emergency callouts a year and training drills every fortnight, there's plenty of opportunity to get involved.

You don't need to change careers or give up your current job to become a firefighter. We're looking for everyday people who are willing to learn, work as part of a team and give something back to their community.

If we can juggle work, family life and firefighting, maybe you can too!

🚒 WE'RE RECRUITING AT 341 KARIONG🚒

Got questions about how it all works? Send us a message. We're always happy to have a chat.

And if you know someone who's ever said they'd love to be a firefighter but couldn't because they already work full-time, tag them below!

WOY WOY-
Just after 6pm this evening, numerous calls began to be received by Newcastle Communications regarding a building fire at Woy Woy.
Trucks were responded from Umina initially and once on scene it was confirmed a medium sized fire was occurring toward the front of the structure with persons reported inside.
The incident was escalated to a Structure Fire 2nd Alarm which then responded Gosford, Kariong and Bateau Bay crews.
Whilst first arriving crews carried out a rescue of a trapped occupant, further crews deployed hose lines into the building and commenced fire attack.
Further arriving crews were tasked to conduct secondary search and rescue to confirm an all clear for persons inside.
Fire control was gained quickly and complete extinguishment completed.
Once ventilation and primary investigations had been completed, crews begun to be stood down just after 7:30pm and the scene was handed over to NSW Police for investigations.
