    If you get to stay it's fridges, microwaves and toasters. So no Masterchef challenges lol

    They have canteen facilities but as we no longer get the daily food allowance it might not appeal to all.

    There's a canteen, the food is pretty good. You'll probably spend about £5-7 per meal depending on how much you eat. Otherwise there are fridges in the recreation room along with microwaves, toasters and an oven if you want to cook for yourself

    Thanks guys, missed the call initially as I was on my way to work, I could not get to the car park quick enough to phone them back (driving safely of course).

    Is there any online learning to be completed between induction and start? I remember previous groups had to.

    Pretty sure that's still the case. We should get access after induction.

    Seems to be a really big reserve list for this intake. Wonder why?

    I guess it goes to our earlier discussion about recent squad sizes.

    We just need to identify the non Boardies and convince them they'd make great fire fighters :D

    What do you guys mean by being on a reserve list? So you guys got the call but it's conditional?

    Some got a call for November start and some got call to be on reserve in case of drop outs. Mixture of both.
