Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) are holding an Open Day for 999 call handlers.
The event will be held on 14 and 15 September from 10am to 3pm at the Tollcross control room.
Station Commander Control Susan Conroy, who is based in Edinburgh, said: “Our open day is designed to offer a first-hand look into the vital role that our Firefighter Control teams play in our emergency response.
“Our Firefighter Control staff play an important role in our communities by responding to a variety of emergencies, from house fires to water and animal rescues.
“We are looking for people with strong communication and problem-solving skills, especially in high-pressure situations.
“It’s a hugely rewarding career where you work part of a closely-knit team, playing a key role in keeping people safe in their time of need.”
Successful applicants will undergo an initial training course which involves a wide range of incidents scenarios, including house fires, road traffic collisions, and weather-related incidents.
Trainees will also learn how to provide fire survival guidance to individuals trapped by smoke or fire.
It takes 36 months to become a fully qualified Firefighter Control, with regular assessments to work towards achieving competent status.
