Fire and Rescue NSW

A typical day at work is always unpredictable in my position. I can start as early as 7am and finish at 7pm depending on how busy it is in the office. Career development is great as I have great managers. They are very supportive and always willing to teach and mentor others. My co-workers range from high ranking officers to firefighters and administrative and trades staff. I have a friendly and outgoing personality so I get along with many people and it's a very friendly and understanding environment. The hardest part of my job is not being able to help everyone who needs it but it's still rewarding knowing that we look after each other. The most enjoyable part of the job for me is hearing " Thanks for all your hard work, it helped me allot..." Having others recognise that you're there to help is rewarding enough. I've learned allot - it's taught me as a civilian that there's a different world out there than what I'm used to and has given me a new perspective and appreciation for those that risk their lives in that world for ours.

Everyday I start work at 10am and everybody always welcome as their long lost friend. The environment is full of positive aura. There isn't really a hard part, if there is, maybe just during the busy days where I'd wish I could work more hours to complete those filing task but that's not really a hard part, I actually like being busy. The most enjoyable part is when we have our morning tea. Everybody seems happy talking and sharing their experiences.

Such a lovely place to be.

I would be assigned an inbox to manage for the day by the manager, I learnt how to manage my time to get through the inbox by the end of the day. Workplace culture was relaxed. Hardest part of the job was during busy periods and trying to contact clients to chase them up for documentation within the legal time frame as per the legislation. Most enjoyable part was self managing.

Every day is different from the roles you take part in or the people you work with or meet on the job.
You learn life skills and become aware that life can change in a heart beat through simple acts.
Hardest part of the job is wittnessing people in distress or the death of innocent people. Though the job can be very satisfying by being able to help people and even saving a life.

- Typical day at work, clean entire station, check and report on all tools and equipment including vehicles.
- I've learned to never panic.
- Management are interesting.
- Workplace culture varies station to station but generally good.
- Hardest part of the job would be serious motor vehicle accidents especially involving children.
- Most enjoyable part of the job

Opinion and personality driven service with shallow ineffective leaders driven by delusions of grandeur. 

No staff support or development, ego driven leadership with a lack of care for its staff and personal. 

Lack of internal opportunities unless aligned to key Deputies.

the police force was a damaged profession it has improved but the law didnt protect the workers and still dont. i found that the courts did not help police keep safe and the public thought police work was bad and corrupted they did not respect the police and i cant work where i am not respected

Loved working for NSW Fire & Rescue only I was there for 22 years and it was time to move on and learn new things.

Loved the Team Environment
Was lucky enough to have worked and gained experience in most section on NSW Fire & Rescue, my actual rolls on a daily basis was Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable.

Different jobs every day working with great people and helping the community is a great feeling.long hours and exposure to harsh conditions come with the job thats why its so hard to get in we wouldnt want a weak scared of heights bloke saving us 4 storeys above the ground would we.

I have been a member of the band many years & have enjoyed every minute of it. When asked to take take over the Managers role, I was honoured & fortunate to do something I really enjoy with this group of people & our fantastic sponsors, Fire & Rescue NSW Band.
