Would you have what it takes to be a firefighter? With Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue holding a recruitment drive, Stephanie Bennett went to find out if she had what it takes to make the grade.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue service are recruiting across fourteen different departments, including for retained or on-call firefighters.
They each have different levels of availability depending on the time they can offer from their other jobs or responsibilities.
