Our first responders train like they are surrounded by smoke, even when they’re not! They’re able to do this thanks to SCBA mask smoke shields, which are removable covers that attach to their masks to simulate zero-visibility or smoke-filled environments during training. This allows them to stay safe during drills while still training in environments they may encounter on a real call. | Orange County Fire Rescue Department, Florida

On-call firefighter recruitment is now open! On-call firefighters provide cover for their local community. They have the same skills and receive the same training as wholetime firefighters. To be an on-call firefighter, you must be physically fit, have good hearing and eyesight, and live or work near to an on-call fire station. In this video, we chat with some of our current on-call firefighters from across Lancashire. Learn more and apply: https://www.lancsfirerescue.org.uk/careers/ | Lancashir
