Case Studies

Kevin Pottinger Group Commander Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service Kevin is an Operational Commander for Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service which provides 24/7 emergency response for the county. Kevin also manages the Training and Development team and also the Risk Team, a team which ensures that the county risks such as historical buildings, industrial sites and the wider risks to the community are known to the staff as it is important that they all have information about the properties and incidents they could potentially attend. Kevin says: Many people join the service to become Firefighters and develop through a structured process. There are also a number of different roles within the Fire Service such as mechanics and equipment repair technicians we also have staff in Operation Support roles working in HR and Administration. There are a number of ways that students can prepare themselves for a career in the Fire Service. They need to have a wide range of experiences and skills to support their role. Experience in other fields is also useful; in particular community work as understanding the community you support is very important.
