LAST FEBRUARY, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to throw myself into some of the extensive training undertaken by our fire and rescue services.
I joined the South Wales Fire and Rescue team who invited me to the Cardiff Gate training centre and Bridgend fire station where I attempted search-and-rescue drills in cramped, smoke-filled rooms and mazes of confined crawl spaces, all in complete darkness.
