Fire service to host 'come and try it' sessions

Aspiring firefighters can see if they've got what it takes next month.

The Island Fire Service is holding 'come and try it' sessions on Wednesday, September 9 and Tuesday, September 29.

They're designed for anyone considering applying to get a glimpse into what professionals do on a daily basis.

Those who attend can take part in a series of tests which are part of the entry process including a bleep test, hose reeling excercise and breathing apparatus tests.

The sessions take place between 6.15pm and 8pm each evening.
