Really scarce resources with David Hodge

Описание: #252 The Last of the Dinosaurs with retired Firefighter & Officer Dave Hodge

Dave Hodge recently retired from an incredible career in the fire service.

Born in Scotland & grew up Australia Dave joined the fire service later than expected given how much he squeezed into his career. Through the firefighter exchange program he ended up working 30 years made up of 15 year stints in fire and rescue services on opposite sides of the world whilst also going on exchange 3 times to America during his career.

Today, we peak about;

Why being practically minded is essential for a firefighter
how being inquisitive is a super power
what you learn leading a bushfire strike force
the benefits of the international exchange programme
Queensland, Australia originally from Hampshire FRS in the UK
& how Back burning is an effective Wildfire strategy
