AN OPEN day is to be held in Whitley Wood for people who want to become an on-call fire fighter.

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is holding the selection test day on Sunday, September 10.

They include climbing a ladder, being in an enclosed space, assembling equipment, a drill ground assessment and a ladder life exercise.

Successful applicants will be based at on-call fire stations across the Thames Valley: Hungerford, Lambourn, Mortimer, Crowthorne, Maidenhead.
