My Training:

Principally wildfire with some structural and rescue training.

About Me:

I have been a volunteer firefighter in numerous Brigades throughout Victoria. I am also a Ground Observer and have a keen interest in re-developing old skills to assist with the technologies that are being introduced. The introduction is generally at the expense of previous skills which are required when the technology no longer works.

Relationship Status:

In a Relationship

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Interested in ways of understanding fire behaviour and suppression activities throughout the world. This gives better understanding and options locally.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

Always dynamic and able to develop long lasting friendships

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Personal safety and too much reliance on technology.
