Area Manager Cath Toovey

Have you worked in the fire service before or just wanting to know more about the diversity of the role? Cath talks about her journey to becoming an Area Manager at NFRS.

The good thing about the fire service is it’s not all about going to emergencies on a fire appliance. There’s such a like, broad area of work that I’ve never been bored in the fire service.

Group Manager Dan Palmer

Do you know someone who has worked in the fire service and feel inspired by them? Dan talks about his reasons for joining the Service and the opportunities available.

I’ve always been passionate about helping people and I think this role is the ultimate in being able to do that. Whether that’s with our communities that we serve, but also with people in the organisation itself.
