CI Fire Service ‘smoking out’ new recruits
(CNS): The Cayman Islands Fire Service is launching a recruitment drive this weekend with the first of two open days to encourage local people to join the service. Hoping to smoke out some interest, the initiative offers potential recruits the chance to ask questions, explore equipment and acquire detailed information about the functions and operations, as well as the primary responsibilities of a firefighter.
The recruitment drive will take place at the Central Fire Station and CIFS HQ in George Town at 148 Owen Roberts Drive, from 10am until 2pm. Then on Wednesday, the drive moves to the Brac station on West End Road from 11am until 5pm.
To apply, candidates should be Caymanian or permanent residents with full rights to work. They must be at least 18 years old, have a high-school diploma, be able to swim and physically fit, able to lift 20-30lbs. Applications must be submitted before the end of the day on 25 May.
The Cayman Islands Fire Service said it was looking for “enthusiastic individuals” to join its team of “valiant officers” and become skilled firefighters, trained to save lives, protect property and guard against environmental threats.
To apply, visit the CIG careers website.

With high rises multiplying the unique challenges compared to fires in low-rise structures arise due to factors like rapid fire and smoke spread, the vertical nature of buildings, and increased evacuation complexities. Do they have skills and the equipment?
When they approved the Westin hotel’s 10-storey addition with off-site car park with a shuttle bus service to ferry guests between the two locations, did they factor in the potential evacuation complexities?
Same for electrical, sewer, water and roads. Overwhelmed infrastructure!
So presumably all the NAU recipients who – tragically and despite their best efforts – have been unable to get a job and pay for themselves/their kids, will be flocking to earn their money by applying?
