HOW TO BECOME A FIREFIGHTER IN 2024 | The Recruitment Process.
My Firefighter Exercise Plan For Those Wanting To Get Firefighter Fit // cammccleary.ck.page/products/...
How to become a UK Firefighter and pass the recruitment process. In this video I discuss my story and experience when going through the uk recruitment process in applying and becoming a uk firefighter. I go through the different stages in brief detail and share my thoughts on how I got through the uk application process to become a firefighter. When I applied I didn't see many of these types of videos available online so my plan is to just give back to you guys what perhaps would've been helpful for me when I was in your position trying to become a uk Firefighter.
I hope you gain something from the video and taken on my advice. Be sure to check out my other videos and if you have any questions make sure to drop them in the comments below and I'll do my best to answer them.

No problem 🤝
just applied for my local service ,this is really helpful.👍
After watching a reality tv show of female firefighters i realised that it may be for me.. like you i love fitness and don’t like the idea of being stuck behind the desk all day. The thrill of it is very interesting to me too - the fact that work days will be different is alluring too. After i finish my final exams for uni, i’ll apply for LFB for sure! The only thing that makes me hesitate is the night shifts, that was something i’ve always said i’ll never do because i can’t imagine giving up sleep for a job.. but I still got time to look into it! Thanks man :)
I had a severe accident in the army and it’s taken me years to get ready for the fire service. Currently applying for the second time at the moment. Really helpful these videos mate. Thank you, Chris.

Could you elaborate more on the mechanical topic during the questionnaires?
Hey Cam, great video. I have always had a strong desire to join a service, especially the fire brigade. especially after my time through advanced education What were your personal main motivations for becoming a firefighter? why did it stand out as a role that you felt you would be suited for ?
Hi mate - thanks for the video. There isn't much online . I know a lad who did it for decades but he has retired a few years ago and says it is a different job now. I have been a self employed window cleaner for 17 years and fancy a new challenge - like you i could nt work in an office and my skill set is physical fitness and interpersonal ... hoping to get a crack this year as i have managed to accept an invite to the online taster session in a week.

Hi nice videos thankyou for the content. Iv been thinking of joining im 42 kept myself fit. Havebyou seen older guys coming through . ? Another question when i was 18 i was dishornable diacharged from army on a drug offence. Probably the biggest mistakes i made as a young lad. Would this effect joining up or do you have a place to contact for more information.
I currently work offshore and do 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off so I’m looking to try to go as a on call fire fighter but my only issue is I did a 6 month sentence when I was younger for criminal damage…. How much of in issue is this or is it going to be impossible for me to be accepted?
Our experiences have been very similar! I was wanting a career change and sat in my room, mapping my qualities, this job role popped into my head. I was hesitant at first, thinking I might be too old to apply (just turned 30), but I might as well give it a shot. I am waiting on taster day emails and have been educating myself and training while I wait, so super early doors for me, but I am exited to see what it is like. Thank you for these videos mate, the information is appreciated!
