JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a Fire Master, you contribute to the development and efficiency of Eskilstuna's rescue service.

You will be part of a group of 6 Fire Masters who share the operational function of incident leaders within the Eskilstuna rescue service. Besides being a role model in operational and everyday work, you will ensure good communication channels both within and outside the organization to ensure that accurate information is disseminated.

In the future, the job responsibilities may also include conducting inspections. If you have not already completed the Inspection A training or equivalent training, you should be interested in undergoing the training in the future.
