“Congratulations again to all and a special thanks to our learning and development team for their dedicated and thorough training and mentorship provided.”

The recruits will be joining the crews in the control room mobilising for Surrey, West Sussex and East Sussex, as well as fire stations in Guildford, Camberley, Farnham, Godstone, Banstead, Chertsey, Painshill, Salfords and Walton, supporting the whole of Surrey.

This pass-out parade, held in Reigate, marks the recruits’ completion of their training and the beginning of their service to the community.

Surrey Fire and Rescue is encouraging members of the public to consider a career in the service.
