Every day, Fire and Rescue crews across South East Cornwall are ready and on-call to keep us all safe.

From their outreach in workplaces and schools to help prevent fires and accidents, to emergency response in some of the most challenging situations, firefighters serve their communities 24/7.

In today’s Cornish Times, we have a six-page special feature all about the dedicated teams working locally for Cornwall’s Fire and Rescue Service.

We are putting the spotlight on eight of our local firestations, finding out about the crews, their training, and the varied work they carry out from day to day.

More on-call firefighters are needed in South East Cornwall, and a recruitment drive is underway to bring men and women from all backgrounds into the service.

In this week’s feature, find out more about what it’s like to be an on-call firefighter in Cornwall - and how you can get involved in this rewarding work.
