COVID-19: Although most legal restrictions to control COVID-19 in England were lifted on 19 July 2021, we are continuing to work to our current step 3 COVID-19 arrangements for the time being to help minimise the impact on our staff and the communities we serve.

We are currently asking the public not to make non-essential visits to our sites. On this page you will find various ways of contacting us with your enquiries about safety, educational visits, communication and recruitment.

We will, of course, continue to respond to 999 calls for assistance.

My smoke alarm is beeping what do I do?

Read answer

A beeping or chirping smoke alarm can indicate a fault with the battery or sensor within it. Although the smoke alarm may continue to work in the short term when the beep is intermittent, the cause of the beeping needs to be investigated and if necessary the smoke alarm should be replaced.

What is the fitness test for Wholetime Firefighters?

Wholetime Firefighters are required to complete the 12-minute Chester Treadmill Test and three strength tests.
