My guest today is Simon Thompson Group Commander in Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue service.

He had the goal to complete 44597 press up's by the 4th May 2021. 44597 is the total number of uniformed and support staff that work in the various fire and rescue services in England. The 4th of May is an important date for firefighters as it is firefighter memorial day. To complete this on average he did 340 press up's each day. 

We also discuss:

• Mental reliance & Ross Edgley
• Injuries & setbacks
• his role as a HAZMAT officer
• fire safety 
• self-care
• personal development
• recruitment & fire service values
