A career as a Control Officer involves providing advice to callers and gathering important information to assist the Brigades response to a terrorist attack, serious fires, major incidents or large-scale flooding events. Thankfully, these don’t occur every day, but when they do, we at the centre of helping our firefighters and communities get the help they need.

At other times you will be undertaking training and development, supporting with routine tasks in the Control room or speaking to fire stations and officers, ensuring you and the Brigade are ready to respond.

At the London Fire Brigade, we believe every contact counts, that starts with Control and it could start with you.
