Information for employers

The department for Communities and Local Government has developed a toolkit to provide local employers with information about the role of retained (on-call) firefighters.

Its aim is to encourage employers to allow members of staff to be released for on-call duties and to help explain the benefits to businesses and to the local community of having an on-call Firefighter in their workforce.
