The successful applications now face a sifting process before candidates will undergo written and physical tests, interviews, medical test and a CRB check.

A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue said: "We would like to thank everyone who applied for our whole-time Firefighter positions, we are delighted with the response.

"For those who were not successful, you may wish to consider service as an On-Call Firefighter.

"We are currently looking for On-Call Firefighters at a number of community fire stations across the county.

"If you are 18 and over live or work within a 5 minute travelling time of one of these community fire stations and have ever considered becoming a firefighter take a look at our On-Call Firefighter recruitment guide."
