Warrnambool Officer-in-Charge Paul Marshall said he needed several more firefighters ranking from Firefighter Level 2 to Station Officer to support new recruits coming on station in December and deployment of specialist equipment.
“Growth Programs has recently completed renovations at the station, adding four bedrooms to bring the total number up to 12,” Paul said.
“As a fire service agency, we need to respond to population growth in our community, which is why we’ve renovated the station and are looking to fill vacant positions to support new firefighters starting their careers in Warrnambool.”
