“It is the most rewarding and fulfilling job that I have ever done, there is no better feeling when the adrenaline is flowing, and your fighting fire be that a house fire or fast-moving vegetation fire. There is a humbling sensation knowing that you and your crew have helped make a difference in the lives of people you may not even know.”
