We have active vacancies for on-call firefighters

Support roles

Every day we’re helping to save lives - and not only by fighting fires.

Behind the scenes there are lots of other roles that people don’t see: incident support teams, administration teams, technical engineers and more.  There’s much more to Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service than meets the eye.
