In this episode, we take a look at some of the varied roles across the fire service, and how our support stretches further than people may think.

We hear from Jonathan Honeyman, who’s an experienced dog handler and fire investigation officer. He shares the incredible journeys of two of his fire investigation dogs - including how one of them went on to receive a commendation for his help following a devastating incident.

We also caught up with Louise Dalton-Kennedy. She’s a Community Safety Advocate with Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, as well as being one of our Station Reps. Louise talks about what a typical day looks like for her, and shares how our support played an important role in her recovery after two injuries.

And we were also joined by Fire Fighters Charity’s Fire Chaplain, Jacquetta Gomes. Jacquetta supports service users at Jubilee House, our centre in Cumbria, and shares what it’s like to see, first-hand, the difference our support can make.
