I would like to use my Fire Service knowledge and experience to enter the world of Fire Safety. I believe that the skills I have acquired over many years will allow me to make a successful new career within the Fire Safety Industry.
I was an operational Firefighter for 28 Years where I attended a wide range of operational incidents, at both firefighter and Officer level.
I received emergency calls directly from members of the public, I then prioritised and dispatched these to operational police units. This position required extremely good written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work in very stressful conditions.
Over my Fire Brigade career I developed the ability to work well under pressure I was in charge of many challenging operational incidents where I led personnel in often adverse conditions Good people skills allowed me to liaise effectively with a wide range of members of the public and numerous associated organisations I was responsible for watch training and development, HR and Fire Safety Inspections I am experienced in a wide variety of report writing eg post incident, witness statements for courts and fire safety inspection reports, using numerous software packages
