On-call firefighters are people with regular day jobs who live or work close to their local station. They carry a pager and are ready to respond to emergencies whenever needed, balancing the role alongside other work and family commitments. On-call firefighters must live or work within a few minutes of their fire station to enable a rapid response. Those who have previously served as on-call firefighters with the service and left within the past four years can apply to return through a dedicated re-employment scheme. Anyone interested in becoming an on-call firefighter in Carmarthenshire is encouraged to complete the expression of interest form available on the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service website.
