The static display is staffed by two MFS firefighters who interact with the public and answer questions relating to the role of a firefighter and the recruitment process.

The stand includes firefighting equipment and uniforms, enabling people to get a close-up look at the specialist tools and Personal Protective Equipment used by MFS firefighters.

This style of presentation is suited to a Careers night event or Career expos where people walk through and visit stalls that interest them.

The career presentation is delivered by one MFS firefighter to a seated audience and is for approximately one hour.

With the use of a PowerPoint style presentation, our firefighter will have an in-depth discussion with the audience about the traits, skills and abilities of a firefighter.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to;

• the role of the MFS in the community
• the responsibilities of a firefighter

At the conclusion of the session there will be an opportunity to look at firefighting equipment and uniforms, and ask questions.
