PEOPLE have the chance to become retained firefighters in Bingham and Southwell.
Notts Fire and Rescue Service has positions available at both stations.
People who get the posts would be on-call for emergencies, though the service says it would be flexible to suit work and family commitments.
A force spokesman said: "You will learn new skills and experience the adrenalin rush of turning out with the crew to a variety of fires, road traffic collisions and rescues in your local area.
"And you will feel the pride and satisfaction that goes with being a critical member of your local community.
"Age is no barrier being a retained firefighter.
"If you live or work within five minutes of Bingham or Southwell station and this sounds like something you might be interested in, then we recommend you come along to the relevant open day to talk to the people who already do the job.
"You can try on the fire kit, wear breathing apparatus, look at the equipment, watch demonstrations and ask questions about the role."
An open day is being held at Bingham Fire Station between 10am and 3pm on Saturday, January 26 and at Southwell Fire Station between the same times on Saturday, February 2.
Formal applications will be invited in March, with a training course in autumn 2013 for successful candidates.
