The Federal Fire Service recruitment is one of the most important recruitments in Nigeria used to select qualified firefighters into the Federal Fire Service. The recruitment is always conducted every year, and the qualified applicants will be trained as firefighters. In this post, we will be talking about the Fire Service recruitment form, Fire Service recruitment portal, and the process of applying, that is, how to apply for the Federal Fire Service recruitment.
Previously, we wrote an article about the Fire Service salary, ranks, and allowances. This is because many people are applying for Fire Service with different qualifications and want to know how much they will earn as Fire Service Officers. In FFS, the higher your qualification, the higher your salary will be. For example, those who joined the Fire Service as graduates are paid higher than those who joined using SSCE certificates. You can read our post about the Fire Service Salary, Ranks and Allowances.
