Firefighters hope to blaze a trail at race

SIX female firefighters will swap poles for tarmac as they take part in a charity 10km run. The group will participate in the Cancer Research UK Race for Life on 13 June in Holyrood Park.

Lynne Gow, watch manager with the service, said:

"It's an event that is full of enthusiasm, support, commitment and teamwork – similar qualities to that of a firefighter! Come and chat to us about firefighter careers."

There are still places for the race available. To enter visit www.raceforlife.org.
