Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service is recruiting new full-time firefighters for the first time in eight years.
The recruitment campaign forms part of the service’s succession planning as a number of firefighters due to retire over the next few years.
More than 250 people attended firefighter taster sessions held at fire stations around the county, providing an opportunity for people to talk to firefighters about the role and have a go at some of the physical tests that form part of the firefighter selection process.
Women and people from minority groups are being encouraged to consider a career as a firefighter.
