I wouldn't have thought it would be a problem but the only way to know for sure is to ring your HR department and ask the question (you can do so anonymously.)

Hi LBL,

I can't see that the service would be interested unless they thought he might set fire to your home for the insurance,if I remember rightly the highest % of jobs for an arsonist is the FB.

Laybylover??? certainly got my imagination going Hope you can put my mind at rest

Hi,

Perhaps give the union a call. You can then chat confidentially. I would not have though that BR in fire service would offer any kind of risk unless you are in a financial/advisory/accounting role in the service.

Hope helps,

hi dez .sorry to disappoint your imagination ,im a trucker and according to boss,customers and family i spend most of my days asleep in laybys.regarding fire service nephew applied over 12 months ago and its taken until recently to get in,in the meantime he set up own company but has incured debts of approx 25k.its been his ambition for years to join f/s so he joined regardless of debt

Dez and I obviously have the same sort of mind:D

I would have thought if the didn't credit check him before they gave him the job they aren't likely to mind once he's working for them.
