SA based fire fighter here,,, its a great job for most people but some cant handle the more graphic side of some of the calls... all you have to rember at the recruiting stage is to put your hand up for everything and dont be afraid to ask questions.

There's been a few threads on firey's with involved members.

Good luck getting in mate, it can be a tough nut to crack!

I applied once and didnt get in but I was told they look at people to put in an application each year for 2 or 3 yrs to show they are fair dinkum about being a firey. No good for me, I wanted a job that year, not wait for 3 years down the track.
