Default FAO:- All you wanna be Firefighters!

Morning all, For all you that want to be Firefighters, London Fire Brigade are having a recruitment drive next week, see here for details.

http://www.london-fire.gov.uk/recrui...irefighter.asp

I'm even applying for a transfer there, London's only 50 minute drive (to the outskirts anyway!) and it is where all the action is.

Get those CV's ready lads!

matt, hi mate! still got your PMs saved, wicked help

not sure when I'm re-applying, kind of inbetween jobs at the moment and my next one has taken a fair bit of effort to get into (MOD) so I'd feel like a bit of a c'nut applying for fire service then potentially leaving 3 months into this new job!

Might leave it a year or so i reckon
