Royal Wootton Bassett Fire Station

DWFireRescue Control Firefighter vacancies: apply now!

Monday evening training: Breathing Apparatus basics - thanks to Andy from DTS for a thorough revision session. Fortunately our Scania has more roomy mounts for the sets and spare cylinders, but being familiar with how stowage works in older Dennis DWFireRescue reserve vehicles is also essential knowledge.

Thank you to those that put some change in everyone's buckets at Royal Wootton Bassett Carnival 2019 and our appreciation to all that have enquired about joining our crew over the last few weeks - we will be recruiting again in late Autumn!

Community safety vacancies: apply now!

RWB crew packs a lot into its Monday training sessions. Following revision lectures in Lift Rescue and Multi Agency co-operation in dangerous situations, it's straight into an Incident Command scenario and a BA exercise. Our thanks to Etherlive for letting us use their premises.

Monday evening training: using fire extinguishers and flood relief with the mini-ejector pump.

RWB Development firefighters' training brief: deliver water to 45mm hose branch without using vehicle-mounted pump.

Not sure if you've got a head for heights? The training you'll receive as an on-call firefighter will impart new skills and the confidence to deal with every adversity you'll encounter at incidents. https://www.dwfire.org.uk/working-for…/ on-call-firefighters/

Just imagine it...

Good weather forecast for tomorrow (Thurs) - why not come down to the fire station and see what the Shed folks are up to? (It's not just for men!)

‪Covered winching tonight at training. Thankfully not a piece of equipment we have to use often but can be critical when required. Think it sounds fun? We are still recruiting #joinus ‬

As well as currently recruiting on-call firefighters for RWB, there are these vital vacancies in our support services.

‪Tonight’s training involved an assessment for one of our firefighters - lots of water! Followed by a quick shout in the local area #999life ‬
