F.R Responcibilities

Responsibilities of Fire Fighter (F.R)

 The role of a firefighter covers a diverse range of tasks, some you'll do every day while others are less frequent. They include:
·         responding immediately and safely to emergency calls and requests for assistance;
·         attending emergency incidents including fires, road accidents, floods, terrorist incidents, spillages of dangerous substances, and rail and air crashes;
·         rescuing trapped people and animals;
·         minimizing distress and suffering, including giving first aid before ambulance crews arrive;
·         safeguarding your own and other people's personal safety at all times;
·         cleaning up and checking the site after dealing with an incident;
·         taking time to become familiar with local streets, roads and buildings so you can respond to emergency calls with speed and efficiency;
·         inspecting and maintaining the appliance (fire engine) and its equipment, assisting in testing fire hydrants and checking emergency water supplies;
·         undertaking drills and physical training and taking part in training on techniques, use of equipment and related matters;
·         maintaining the level of physical fitness necessary to carry out all the duties of a firefighter;
·         educating and informing the public to promote fire safety by giving talks in schools and to local organizations, as well as home visits to offer advice, etc;
·         Maintaining links with the local community.


At management level, you'll perform extra supervisory activities which include managing operational incidents and directing the day-to-day tasks of personnel on fire stations. You'll find that the operational aspects of firefighting, although important, are a minor part of a senior manager's role in a large service.

·         Assessing situations quickly and deciding on the best course of action;
·         Directing the crew;
·         Writing full incident reports;
·         Fire investigation;
·         Budget administration and control;
·         Allocation of personnel and resources to achieve performance targets;
·         Negotiating with representative bodies;
·         Dealing with external agencies;
·         Planning and resource management;
·         Dealing with political aspects of the Fire and Rescue Authority (FRA).
