Medical & Fitness Requirements
Other Ranks (Non Technical), Other Ranks (Non Technical) (Reserve)
To be enlisted or appointed, you must be medically and physically fit for entry to your chosen occupation. This is partially assessed from the completion of an extensive questionnaire covering your medical history, followed by a physical examination. Two main areas which affect firefighters is claustrophobia and the ability to work from heights.
You will also be required to successfully pass a physical fitness test before enlistment.
