I've obtained my Fire Fighter Certification on my own back in the early years of 2000. Along with the Cert 1, I have multiple classes with certificates for different aspects of the fire service. These are available upon request if you would like to see them. I have also obtained my Basic Vehicle Rescue certification in the early 2000's.
