The Trinidad and Tobago Fire Service (TTFS) is moving forward with its latest recruitment intake for Firefighter Grade 1 positions, but a specific gender requirement has sparked public debate and raised eyebrows across the twin-island republic.
Sub Station Fire Officer Lincoln Douglas confirmed that the current recruitment cycle is exclusively accepting male applicants. The decision to temporarily pause the intake of female recruits for this batch has drawn scrutiny from aspiring applicants and civil society, prompting the service to clarify its operational staffing balance, dormitory accommodations, and infrastructural constraints.
