🔥 Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to be a firefighter?

Hertfordshire Fire & Rescue Service is inviting women from the local community to attend a Women's Try It Out Day at Hitchin Fire Station.

This informal and supportive session is designed to give you a hands-on insight into the physical elements of the role and the opportunity to ask questions about becoming a firefighter.

The fire service is committed to building a workforce that reflects the communities we serve, and we want to encourage more women to consider a career as an on-call or wholetime firefighter.

During the session you will have the chance to:

🔥 Try some of the physical activities used in firefighter training such as hose running and equipment carries

🔥 Take part in a short fitness challenge similar to the shuttle run (bleep test)

🔥 Meet serving female firefighters and learn about the role

🔥 Ask questions about recruitment, training and fitness preparation

This is not a test or assessment - it's simply an opportunity to experience parts of the job in a friendly and supportive environment.

Whether you are seriously considering applying or just curious about the role, we would love to welcome you.

The Armed Forces Covenant Duty was introduced to ensure that no one in the Armed Forces community is disadvantaged as a result of their service.

But more than a decade on, it has not delivered the meaningful difference it should.
