Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) have urged potential firefighters to consider if they could be up to the job.
The service is planning to recruit hundreds of new firefighters in the coming years and is encouraging anyone concerned that they don’t have what it takes to think again. That's because they want those who demonstrate traits such as empathy, compassion and adaptability to apply.
Whether you are short or tall, male or female, an office worker or a gym fanatic, the service wants to challenge the stereotypes that may have prevented people from submitting an application.
