Welcome to the Wholetime Duty System area.
Here you can find out more about the recruitment process and
the role of a Wholetime Firefighter.
On these pages you can find out if you would be suited to a career
in the fire service by answering the quiz
do you really want to be a firefighter? You can also get an
insight into life on station by reading the firefighters profiles
in the 'is it for me?'
area.
You can find an overview of the selection
process used when we are recruiting, and find
guidance on physical training.

AF&RS have established an innovative project to support
people interested in becoming a wholetime firefighter. We are
working with City of Bristol College and the Fire Brigades' Union
(FBU) to offer help with literacy and numeracy skills needed to
pass the application form and written selection tests. For
more information, please contact Bill Hendy, FBU Regional
Co-ordinator, on bendy@blueyonder.co.uk
