My former employment with the Fire Service involved providing the best possible service to the community. The responsibilities included managing emergency incidents with the priorities of saving lives, property, the environment and economy. Looking after the safety and wellbeing of personnel under my command and reinforcing team unity was always a high priority.Being an operational member of an emergency service team, while a dangerous occupation, was largely a very rewarding and satisfying career where I served for over 37 years.Being awarded the South Australian Emergency Service Medal in 2021 in recognition of my contribution and initiative with implementing an Emergency Response Solar Installer capability was a highlight. Developing awareness and training packages on the emerging risk of lithium ion batteries was satisfying.Pushing the organisation to address areas that I identified that required improvement was a relentless pursuit during my time with the SAMFS.As an emergency service worker you are exposed to many stressful critical incidents, hazardous environments and problematic situations during your career. Normalising an incident means further loss and damage is prevented and that is the objective with crew safety paramount.I am fortunate to have reached the age where I could retire as I know of many colleagues who have not been so lucky.Some presumptive cancers are recognised for firefighters and, in my opinion, the push for presumptive post traumatic stress disorder/injury should also become approved for all first responders in the Emergency Services.I finished my career knowing I did the best that I could and came to realise it was time to move on to the next stage of life.
