Fire service
Hi,
Just wondered if anyone had moved from the Uk and decided to go into the fire service and how easy/difficult they found it. There seems to be quite a few requirements that they look for in applicants (which I think I should meet in pretty much all) but obviously me being from the UK the application procedure may be slightly different. Just wondered if anyone had gone through this already and if they could give me a bit of advice.
Cheers for the help!

In Melbourne most people volunteer with the CFA http://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/joining/index.htm there isn't much paid work through them though you would probably be best looking at SES http://www.ses.vic.gov.au/CA256AEA00...=Home~&2=~&3=~
