More firefighters are needed in Callington, Callington Town Council has been told.

Cllr Andrew Long, giving a report on fire matters, told his fellow councillors that the crew currently only had nine fire crew.

‘I met up with the fire crew at their training night recently,’ he said. ‘They have bid farewell to one of their longest standing members and one thing they do need is some more volunteer firefighters for the daytime shifts. They are ok for the weekend and evening shifts but they are short of people in the day. If anyone is interested they need to contact the fire service. If they need more information, please let me know.’ Callington Fire Station can be found on Facebook.
