Events
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service has a busy calendar of community engagement events throughout the year.
Date: Monday, March 16th
Time: 6.30-8.30pm
Location: Hay-on-Wye Fire Station, Brecon Road, Hay-on-Wye, Powys, HR3 5DY
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service’s (MAWWFRS) Hay‑on‑Wye Fire Station will welcome the local community on Monday, March 16th for an open evening and a free First Aid training session.
The open evening will offer the opportunity for residents to explore the Fire Station, learn more about the work of the Firefighting crew, recruitment opportunities and gain practical First Aid skills, including how to use a public access bleed control kit, that could make a life-saving difference in an emergency.
As well as the training, visitors interested in becoming an On‑Call Firefighter, or learning about other roles within MAWWFRS, will have the opportunity to speak directly with crew members about recruitment, training pathways and what commitment is required for the role. The event aims to encourage more people to consider joining the team and supporting the safety and resilience of the local community.
The evening is open to all, with no prior experience required.
