A FIRE station is on the lookout for new on-call firefighters.

The team at Burnham Fire Station in Albert Road is looking for people who want to protect their area by responding to incidents such as fires and road traffic collisions as well as community safety work.

Candidates can drop in on training nights, which take place every Monday from 7pm to 9pm to see what is on offer.

A spokesman said: “Come along to have a look around the station and chat to our firefighters to find out if it’s the role for you.

“You’ll need to live or work within five minutes of an on-call fire station so that you can respond quickly when paged.

“You’ll also need to be over 18 years of age and physically fit.”
