Skee fire station is holding an open house on August 17 at 2 p.m. The public, associations and local employers are invited to see the modernized premises and get information about rescue personnel on standby and the recruitment of part-time firefighters.
What happened?
During 2026, the station received new changing rooms, office spaces and a kitchenette. The premises were reopened in July but are now on display again. Acting rescue manager Håkan Baatz will talk about the station's mission and the RIB organization. Project managers must answer questions about investments and development.
Location
Skee, Strömstad, Västra Götaland
Impact and significance
Rescue personnel on standby often combine the assignment with other employment, which makes the support of local employers important. Open houses can provide potential applicants with concrete information, but the page does not specify eligibility requirements, application deadlines, compensation or number of vacancies. Such conditions must be checked in a formal recruitment.
Background
Skee is the municipality's oldest fire station and in the 1960s replaced older stations in Skee, Näsinge and Krokstrand. The program mentions fire engines, the mascot Flammy and coffee. The municipality has also invested in the rescue guard at Nordkoster and indicates Strömstad's rescue station as the next project.
Latest update
The event is scheduled for Monday, August 17 at 2 p.m. Visitors should check the council's site on the same day for any changes. Interest in working as a part-time firefighter needs to be followed up via the rescue service's official recruitment channel.
