Answer
Last year, for the first time, the Home Office collected information on the diversity of those joining fire and rescue services, for 2016/17. This data can be found, broken down by job role in table FIRE1121 here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/fire-statistics-data-tables#workforce-and-workforce-diversity
Data are not available for previous years. The Home Office does not collect data on the number of applications of employment made to each fire service.
