You might have heard...we're recruiting wholetime firefighters 🧑‍🚒

What you may not have heard is that we're holding an online evening session on Tuesday (12 August) from 7pm-8pm. If you're interested in applying but haven't been able to get along to our in-person events this week, perhaps because of caring responsibilities, work commitments or you've been away on holiday, then this is going to be an ideal opportunity to find out more from the comfort of your own home.

The session will cover everything from the recruitment process to shift patterns and will feature operational firefighters and a Q&A section for you to ask your own probing questions. If you'd like to attend, then please fill in our simple form, which will also give you the chance to ask a question in advance: https://orlo.uk/2E7Bb

If you're interested, then please sign up, and hopefully we'll see you there! 😃

🚣‍♂️ Canoeing on the Norfolk Broads! 🌿🌞

Fun was definitely had during our recent canoeing adventure on the beautiful Norfolk Broads with the wonderful family who visit us annually! Peaceful waters, stunning views, and plenty of laughter made it a day to remember.

There’s nothing quite like gliding through nature, and our rafted canoes make it a stable and accessible experience.
