Over last week I had the pleasure of visiting friends and colleagues in the city of Geneva Fire Service and the European Organisation for Nuclear Research CERN Fire and Rescue Service. It's been great to learn how others solve the problems that we all come across.

Sunday is a day for relaxation...🔥🔥

Change is coming.

Never forgotten.

I can't remember who recommended this book to me but it is outstanding work aimed at aspiring or current leaders. Don't be put off by its military focus, it elaborates on concepts applicable to any industry and emergency services alike. Highly recommend.

And that was the fire loading on the outside plus a fully furnished living room inside.

I can't remember exactly but I think it was a nozzle like this one that was used. This is a picture from the next burn.

Goodbye Ozzy. Thank you for the music.

They were using a 1¾ inch line (45mm). The fire was started on the deck outside to see if ,and how quickly, it will spread inside. It went into the attic quite fast and was burning the roof but there wasn't actually that much fire in the living room.

A few more professional pics from the last two weeks.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of riding with Boston's finest and had a go at operating their tower ladder. Awesome day thanks to great friends.
