Description
Regina Fire and Protective Services (RFPS) will be hosting a career information session beginning at 1:00pm for women 14 years and older, to provide an in-depth look at both the benefits of a career in the fire service and the requirements to achieve a firefighter position with our department. The event will be held at the training facility, 1205 Ross Avenue.
These sessions are designed for you to interact with women working within the industry who can provide you with firsthand knowledge of what it takes to be an RFPS firefighter. Attendees to the session will have the opportunity to hear from women currently working in the industry, as they walk you through the day-to-day life of an RFPS firefighter and answer questions related to the position. The presentation will focus on various components of our work including a day in the life, roles and responsibilities, job requirements and demonstrations of job-specific tasks.
This hands-on workshop gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the job. You’ll meet and chat with some of our incredible female firefighters, learn about their day-to-day work during a presentation, and then suit up in real firefighting gear. From there, you'll head to the training grounds to try out different stations such as using the Jaws of Life to remove car doors, pulling hoses and more.
