Presenter: James Churchfield.

We begin the News in Cornish this week with the news that on-call firefighters are being recruited to work at 26 fire stations across Cornwall.

TRANSLATION:
According to Cornwall Fire Service positions are available for anyone aged 18 or above who lives or works within five minutes of a station, with positions available in places including Penzance, Truro, Falmouth and Saltash.
On-call firefighters - who are paid based on their availability and the station's activity rate - only attend their station for emergency call-outs, but do have a weekly twohour training session to attend and other prearranged duties. Anyone who is interested in becoming an on-call firefighter should visit the Cornwall Fire Service website.
Chief fire officer Kathryn Billing said 75% of the service's crews are on-call firefighters who all play an "important role" in keeping their communities safe.

PRESENTER:
Our next story concerns the auction of hundreds of items recovered from shipwrecks, including cannons, crockery, and other treasures.

RECORDING 2:
An kreryow, dedhyes dhyworth an hwetegves kansbledhen bys dhe wreckys moy adhiwedhes, yw rann kuntel Gwithti Tresor Gwreckys yn Porthmeur West.

Yma hwath seyth kans rann dhe vos gwerthys, ha鈥檔 strifwerthoryon a wayt y fydh meur a vern.

TRANSLATION
The artefacts, dating from the 16th Century to more recent wrecks, are part of the collection at the Shipwreck Treasure Museum in Charlestown.
Sir Tim Smit, known for founding the Eden Project, bought the museum 10 years ago, but has decided to sell both the collection and the building.
"It鈥檚 a good little business, but it doesn鈥檛 make enough money to become the great museum it could be, so we put it up for sale because we know it will all go to very good homes," he said.
A single unnamed organisation has already purchased 500 of the most historically significant items.
There are still 700 lots to be sold, and auctioneers expect a great deal of interest.

PRESENTER James:
Our final story concerns the news that Flambards theme park in Helston announced it was closing "with immediate effect" on Monday.

RECORDING 3:
Yn derivas war vedia socyal, dyghtyans an park a ros grassow dhe vysytyoryon ha mayni

Viktorian.
An park a dashenwys avel Flambards, henwys wosa towlen bellwolok drama oos, rag
dastewynnya y ro ledanna.
Henn yw oll ahanav vy, seythen da genowgh.

TRANSLATION
In a statement on social media, the park's management thanked visitors and staff for
their support, adding "Flambards has been a cherished destination for generations
and it is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell."
The statement said managers would look at options to "preserve and honour" its
unique collection, which includes vintage aircraft and a Victorian pharmacy which
had been preserved as a time capsule.
Flambards opened in 1976 as Cornwall Aircraft Park before expanding to add rides,
a Britain in the Blitz exhibition and a Victorian village.
The park later rebranded as Flambards, named after a popular television period
drama, to reflect its widened offering.
That鈥檚 all from me, have a good week.
