“This is a flexible, exciting and rewarding job and a wonderful way to be right at the heart of a community,” said station manager Phil Revill.

“We have vacancies at most of our stations and would welcome applications from men and women who would be interested in accepting the challenge.”

A pager will alert firefighters to an emergency call and they could find themselves responding to fires, road traffic collisions, trapped people and animals, flooding and other water rescue incidents.

Firefighters also get involved in fire prevention activities, helping to promote fire safety.
