Today I delivered a presentation on CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Nuclear, Radiological and Explosives) to my Watch.

The first thing we do when you arrive for duty each day is to thoroughly check that the equipment on the fire engine, that it is in good working order and all there ready for us to use.

It’s a year today since I started my apprenticeship at Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service so I have been asked to write a blog to promote National Apprenticeship Week, which runs from 3-7 February.
