As a Fire Officer, I know how devastating the effects of fire are to those involved, and as a firefighter, I have experienced the heat and smoke created during a fire. I would never want to experience that heat and smoke without protective clothing. I am passionate about designing and managing buildings that people can escape from safely in the event of a fire.
