- About Me:
- I have been based at my current station now for 18 months and it is great being back at the station where I did my initial training as a probationary Firefighter. I joined in 1998 at my local volunteer station where I live, and then in 2001, I was selected to join the full time service in my county. I love living in one of the most beautiful parts of the uk.

- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- It is the best job in the world ... The feeling of gratitude when you help, the adrenaline, the respects of others and the most important .... Being part of the family that all of us have become around the world.
