RESIDENTS are encouraged to attend an open day to find out more about becoming a firefighter.
Essex Fire and Rescue will be holding a multi-station recruitment day at Maldon fire station on January 12.
This event is for anyone interested in becoming an on-call firefighter at stations in Maldon, Burnham, Tillingham and Tollesbury.
Station Manager Karen Nicoll said: “Supporting on-call firefighters, whether it’s by becoming one yourself or releasing your employees to provide cover, is the ultimate show of community spirit.
“Without your support we simply could not deliver our mission of keeping Essex a safe place to live, work and travel.”
The requirements for an on-call firefighter are that candidates are physically fit, more than 18 years old and live or work five minutes away from their on-call fire station.
The drop-in sessions will be from 10am to 4pm.
