🔥 We’re recruiting On‑Call Firefighters! 🔥

Looking for a role that’s rewarding, flexible, and makes a real difference in your community? Join Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue Service as an on‑call firefighter.
As a member of our on‑call crew you could be from any walk of life — teachers, mechanics, gardeners, parents, business owners and more. No previous experience is needed; we’ll provide full training. What matters most is enthusiasm, a good level of fitness, and the ability to reach your local fire station within 8 minutes when your pager sounds.

As an on‑call firefighter, you’ll not just deal with fires and will respond to a variety of incidents and activities including:
🚒 Attending road collisions
🏊‍♂️ Water rescues
💧 Assist at floods
🐾 Rescue animals
🗣 Share safety advice at community events

We are a welcoming, inclusive Service and particularly keen to hear from people available during the day or those with flexible work or family commitments.

Interested? Ready to make a difference?
📅 Apply by 12 February 2026

Here at Guilsborough Station we are proud to announce our newest member of the crew. Welcome to the team Dougie Brodie!

Dougie has recently completed his first round of training courses. More recently his BA basics which he enjoyed thoroughly!

This means that Dougie now rides the pump and can respond to emergencies with the rest of the crew. Well done Dougie, and welcome to the team!

Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service is asking people to follow advice and have fun safely during the Halloween and Bonfire Night period.

We would always recommend only attending organised firework and bonfire displays but urge members of the public that are planning on holding their own display to do so safely to avoid causing fires and injuries.

Darren Carson, Prevention Team Leader at Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “While the number of fires we attend during this period is reducing year by year, we still want to urge people to follow safety advice to keep themselves, their families and their homes safe.

“It is a fun time of year and we want people to enjoy fireworks and bonfires, but we really encourage members of the public to only go to an official display and avoid having them in back gardens.

“If you do have your own display or bonfire and it gets out of control, or you see any unattended fires, please always call 999 and ask for the Fire Service.”

Guilsborough Fire Station recently had the privilege of hosting a visit from the local Brownie Group. The fire crew spent the evening teaching the group about fire safety and their own responsibilities in the household. We then had some brilliant Q&A followed by some target practice with our hose reel. There were even questions about how to join the service. 🚒👍🏽
Thank you for coming to see us!

The UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm.

Your mobile phone or tablet will vibrate and make a loud siren-like sound, even if it’s set on silent. The alert message will confirm this is a test and that you do not need to take any further action.

Regular testing ensures the system is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency. Find out more at gov.uk/alerts.

You can opt out of the Emergency Alerts, including the national test, but you should keep them switched on for your own safety.

Emergency Alerts will warn you via your mobile or tablet if there's a life-threatening emergency nearby. Only the government and the emergency services are able to send them.

There are simple and effective steps we can all take to be more prepared for an emergency. Visit https://orlo.uk/ecsGw for advice on how you can prepare.
