Service seeking retained corps
The Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service is looking for people with grit and community spirit to join its cache of retained staff.
Applications are open now until Monday, 20 March.
Retained firefighters work part time - mainly on a standby basis - but carry out many of the duties of full-time officers.
Although the selection process is described as 'rigorous' and at times tough, anyone over 18 with basic qualifications is invited to apply.
You can find more details about the application process through the Fire & Rescue service portal at gov.im.
Former retained officer-turned-full-time firefighter Ian Alder says nothing is ever routine:
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
Fundraiser to keep St John Ambulance emergency fleet on the road
