The Firefighter Podcast

This is Episode 4 featuring Fire and Rescue NSW Station Officer Adam Long.

Adam’s resume reads like a rescue nerds wet dream, with a background as a rescue technician, team member and instructor in Urban Search and Rescue (USAR), Combat Engineer in the Australian Army, and a helicopter Rescue Crew Officer (RCO).

I had the privilege of sitting down with Adam to discuss his time as a fire fighter, the Australian Army, mental health, fatherhood, and the story of how he received a medal for bravery.

This is episode 3 with Fire and Rescue NSW Firefighter Ashlee Scollay.

Ash is one of the busiest people I know with her finger in many pies both in the organisation and out.

I loved the chance to talk cars, kids and being a female in a male dominated industry.

This is episode 2 with ACT Fire and Rescue Firefighter Matt de Waard. I've known Matt now for almost a decade and always cherish the chance to talk shop with him especially about his previous lives as ski patroller, trainer and rescue operator.

This is the final part of episode 1 with our very special guest Peter Ryan who recently celebrated 60 years of service with Fire and Rescue NSW.

With retirement looming, we look back at his highlights from the longest serving operational firefighter in the 140 year history of FRNSW.
