[SIRENS]
- I've been a firefighter for 10 years now.
I absolutely love my job.
Every day is different.
Every day is challenging.
And most importantly, you're always helping people.
I know there are people alive today that
wouldn't be if it wasn't for the work of all my colleagues
within the Brigade.
So, when I put on that uniform, I'm
very proud to be serving the Fire Brigade.
I love every single day knowing in our job we just
help everyone, regardless of their background.
At school, I studied RE and that's helped me--
I can't describe on how many occasions-- because it's
given me a great understanding of all
the different communities that we serve.
To be a firefighter, you need empathy,
and you need to be able to care about people.
If you've got a real good understanding of cultures
and religions, then it can only help
you to be a better firefighter.
