During the first recruitment, as many as 35 people applied for the position of the Krakow bugler, but unfortunately, no one was recruited. The last candidates fell on fitness tests.
If at first you don’t succeed… try again!
After the first attempt was unsuccessful, the second recruitment for the position of bugle caller in the tower of St. Mary’s Church began. The previous competition did not bring satisfactory results in terms of the physical fitness of the job applicants, but it did confirm their musical skills. Ultimately, two people will be selected in the second call.
We would like to hire two people in order to be able to safely plan schedules and be able to grant holidays at the right time. The holiday season is approaching and we hope that the second recruitment will be successful.

Recruitment has been running since December
The Krakow fire brigade, just before Christmas, started recruiting for the position of a bugler in the St. Mary’s Tower. It’s exactly about an intern in the preparatory service (ultimately a senior lifeguard), but the main task is to play the bugle call during 24-hour service. The reason for the recruitment is the retirement of Jan Sergiel, one of the current buglers. The Guard hopes that the number of bugle callers will be extended by two jobs.
To become a bugler firefighter you have to go through a tedious recruitment process that will take many weeks. Recruitment consists of 7 stages. What requirements must a candidate for bugler meet? In addition to the obvious ability to play the trumpet, you need, among others, good physical condition. In addition, formal requirements, such as Polish citizenship, full public rights, and education at least secondary or sector-specific.
You have to come with your own trumpet
Playing the trumpet is the second stage of recruitment for a bugler. Then, the ability to play this essential instrument is checked. Importantly, you have to present your own trumpet for recruitment.
After each 24-hour shift, buglers have 48 hours of rest. So, as you can easily guess, there are several buglingists. Together with retiring Jan Sergiel, there are 6 of them. However, PSP in Krakow wants to increase their number.
We have six positions, and we want to have seven after recruitment, hence the recruitment for two positions. Both men and women can apply.
