Ordinary People, Extraordinary Career National Campaign

In December 2009, the Communities and Local Government department launched the “Ordinary People, Extraordinary Career” National Campaign. The aim of this national campaign is to break down myths and barriers in the way people perceive Fire and Rescue Services and to encourage people from groups currently under represented in the work force to consider a Fire and Rescue Service career.
