SHROPSHIRE residents looking for a sense of adventure have been invited to become on-call firefighters.

Later this month open taster sessions will be held at a number of on-call fire stations, including Ellesmere, Hodnet, Market Drayton, Prees, Wem, Whitchurch.

On-call firefighters have everyday lives and jobs, until their pager sounds; then they immediately make their way to the fire station.

To be eligible to join, applicants must be 18 or over, live or work within five minutes of an on-call fire station and be physically fit enough to undertake the role.

The sessions will be held on May 22 and sessions must be booked in advance.
