The recruits graduated alongside eight other on-call firefighters.
Firefighter Tim Griffiths will be going to Bath Fire Station, Firefighter Davis will be posted to Radstock and Firefighter Veater will serve at Blagdon.
The training course in Avonmouth provides new on-call firefighters with specialist knowledge and a wide range of practical skills, including tactical firefighting, pitching ladders, breathing apparatus, road traffic collision safety and water safety and rescue.
Group Manager Russ Mitchell said: “It was a pleasure to attend the graduation of our newest on-call firefighters and welcome them into our Service.”
Russ added: “I’d like to say a huge congratulations to all that graduated today, and wish them all the very best for their service with us.”
The new recruits have now been posted to their local stations and will be paged to respond to incidents from their homes and places of work.
