After School did various Jobs including Lab Technician, research assistant, Security guard, you name it! Then fell into the Fire Industry by complete accident. Got a Job as a Fireman ( was the 70's) in a Large Industrial Fire Service. Loved it! started as a Student member of the IFE and Started the Grad IFE course.
Then was accepted into London Fire Brigade and really enjoyed all the Operational things. What's not to like? Big red lorries! Fire! etc.
Remember, I was a Kings Cross Era firefighter! (I didn't go on, I was i/c Northolt that night!)
Got promoted to my favourite rank -Sub O (best place to be all those years ago) i/c Belsize. Then did temporary StnO at North West Staff and stuff. Then Disaster ! caught Glandular Fever which progressed into ME. So went on light duties and that's when I did more Fire Safety.
Then I was medically discharged. Not Happy. After a few years got my act together and started doing Safety and Fire Safety on small building Sites. Worked for a small Fire Extinguisher Company and gradually got back to doing Fire Safety with small Fire risk assessments etc. Progressed from there to bigger and bigger FRA s, Fire Warden training. Took me a while (It's me age) to fully use the various Fire related associations, institutes but I'm a member of the FPA, IFE and IFSM now and regularly attend seminars (Webinars now!) completed FPA courses on Fire Risk assessment up to Complex buildings and also am a Tier 2 Competent Fire Risk assessor mostly specialising in Industry and also Boarding Schools.
