David Callister talks to Mike Ventre about a lifetime working in the Isle of Man Fire Service - from the days when recruitment depended upon your shoe size, and a small number of dedicated firefighters worked very long hours - to the lighter side of the work - involving a disappearing fireman, and a bottle of rum that wasn't quite what it seemed to be!
Another fireman tells a very different story - David Callister talks with David Wolstenholme about his years in the 1960's as a fireman on the Steam Railway
And finally Ian Qualtrough is back with some more tales of the characters (and family members) he knew during his lifetime in the South of the Island - this week, the story of Joe Tate, and of Ian's Uncles Percy and Jimmy.
