Become a Firefighter EMT
As a Firefighter EMT, you will support San Andreas Fire Rescue to respond to emergencies in rural and remote San Andreas, working alongside paramedics and senior firefighters to deliver exceptional patient care.
​
EMTs and Firefighters are dispatched to “911” calls in Sandy Shores and surrounding communities to provide life saving interventions and medical care to patients. They attend traffic accidents, wilderness rescues, cardiac arrests and other incidents requiring emergency care. A medical background is not required as we provide all the training you need to develop and maintain your life-saving skills.
​
To work as a Firefighter EMT with SAFR, you must be a member in good standing with BlaineRP. You must also join our discord server and be willing to commit to weekly patrols and training.
Our doors are open to everyone
Our firefighters come in all ages, shapes and sizes. While problem solving skills are a must, eagerness and a willingness to learn can really help. Through training, you’ll learn how to execute rescue procedures correctly and, above all, safely. Regardless of your education background, or real life experiences, we want you to excel!
For all our staff, there is the job satisfaction of knowing that what you do makes a difference, but we offer a range of other benefits as well. What we can offer:
​
- Flexible working including adaptable hours.
- Unlimited annual leave.
- Contributory Pension.
- SAFR Discounts including shops, restaurants, gyms, mobile phone, and insurance.
- Car lease and other salary sacrifice schemes.
- Dedicated employee assistance and counselling service.
- Opportunities for research participation, career progression and ongoing development.
- Well respected, committed and supported staff networks for our workforce.
