Firefighters from Heathfield Fire Station hosted a successful recruitment event on Saturday 18th January at the Isenhurst Health Club, Cross-in-Hand.
The event, organised by the station’s dedicated crews, aimed to engage local gym-goers as by offering them the chance to participate in Firefighter physical tests and learn about the rewarding role of being a Firefighter.
The approach proved effective, with nineteen potential recruits attending throughout the day. While most participants expressed an interest in joining Heathfield’s on-call team, others showed interest in other on-call locations and full-time (wholetime) positions.
Station Manager Trevor Funnell praised the collaboration, saying:
“I am immensely proud of the team at Heathfield and grateful of Isenhurst Health Club’s support. The crew deserve full credit as they invested their time and effort into this collaboration, producing a successful, targeted, recruitment campaign”
