Armed forces
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue have signed up to the armed forces covenant to treat those who serve, or have served, in the armed forces with fairness and respect.
If you’re currently serving outside our eligible postcodes, you can still apply.
We will also consider applications from those outside the postcoded area who have left the armed forces within the last year.
All successful applicants must be able to take up their contract of employment with Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue prior to the start of the training course.
