Locals were invited to have coffee with a firefighter at Gumnuts Café on Saturday morning as part of Fire and Rescue NSW’s recruitment drive.
Cobar Station 256 captain Alex Lennon said they were looking for people who want to contribute to the safety of the community, learn new skills and be part of a highly capable team.
“We are looking for anyone with a keen interest in being part of a team that responds to someone’s worst day, and try to make that day better,” Captain Lennon.
“We need people that have good availability to respond to incidents day or night.
“Any stay-at-home mums who have kids starting school or preschool and looking for something to do with their new kid-free time would be ideal.”
Captain Lennon said all recruits receive “world class” training.
