- Bio:
- I joined the Fire Service in 1987 as a volunteer. After a 6 year career in the police, I became a career firefighter and have since worked in 3 seperate districts within the North Island of New Zealand. I'm curently working as a Senior Station Officer out of Newtown Station in Wellington City on Green Watch. Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, with a regional population of around 450,000. We have 9 stations in our area (and other volunteer stations on the outskirts). We are part of a National Urban Fire & Rescue Service, nationalised in 1976. The New Zealand Fire & Rescue Service has aprox 1700 career firefighters in the urban centres and cities, and 7000 volunteers in the small rural townships. We respond to about 75,000 incidents annually of which 25,000 are fires. About 80% of these calls are dealt with by the career firefighters (only 20% of the staff total). I'm keen on gaining international experience and knowledge, particually in relation to aerial appliance operations, and incident management.
