A FIRE station will be open to the public this weekend.

Burnham Fire Station on Albert Road will be holding an open day on Saturday.

People will have a chance to meet the station's firefighters, sit in the fire engines and learn how they work, as well as have a go on the hoses and explore the fire station and equipment.

Everyone of any age is welcome and the day will be run free of charge.

The station is also recruiting on-call firefighters. People who are interested and would like to find out more can find out details of applying on the day.

It runs from 10am to 4pm on Saturday.
