Surrey Fire and Rescue Service welcomes new firefighters

Surrey Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) proudly welcome the newest cohort of firefighters and Joint Fire Control operators during a pass out parade on Sunday (12 October).

The parade celebrated four wholetime firefighters from Surrey and four Control Room Operators joining their Joint Fire Control room, who have officially completed their training.

Speaking of the event Dan Quin, Chief Fire Officer, said:These dedicated individuals have shown incredible commitment and resilience throughout their training. We are thrilled to welcome each of them to our team and we have every confidence that they will make a real difference in the vital roles they are stepping into.”

Those not heading for Joint Fire Control, will be joining the crews at Godstone, Walton, Camberley and Banstead Fire Stations.

This pass out parade is a proud moment for the new recruits, marking the completion of their training and the beginning of their service to the community. 

SFRS is also encouraging members of the public to consider a career in the service. Recruitment for on-call firefighters is currently open for Chobham, Lingfield, Haslemere, Gomshall, Dunsfold, Cranleigh, Godalming, Walton, Guildford and Oxted, offering an opportunity for individuals to serve their local community while maintaining other work or personal commitments. Wholetime firefighter recruitment will be opening in the new year.

Additionally, SFRS is hosting a Joint Fire Control Open Day on Saturday 25 October, where members of the public can come along, meet current staff, and find out more about joining the team. This is a great opportunity to get an insight into the vital work our control room staff do 24/7 to keep communities safe.
