Meet The Staff

JOHN

John comes from the Dingle and attended Shorefields School in his youth.
John joined the Royal Greenjackets at 18 and served 6 years in Malaysia, before joining Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service.

John spent 30 years as a fire fighter and spent most of his time based at Toxteth Fire Station. John can always tell you of an exciting rescue or drama he was involved in during his career – but be warned, he has a photo gallery of his career…which can take him 30 years to show you!!

John retired as a firefighter in 2002, but immediately rejoined the Fire Service a month later as an Instructor with the Fire Services’ Youth Engagement Team after his experience of working with young people in his community for over 30 years.

John John is a superfit guy, cycling or running to work everyday, whatever the weather. John represents Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service at the World Fire Fighter Games, recently earning a Bronze Medal in the Triathlon.

SUZY

Suzy has worked for the Fire Service for 25 years.  She has had many interesting roles over the years but none more so than here with the Youth Engagement Team.  Suzy moved to the Youth Engagement Team when the project began in 2002.

Now the Youth Engagement Coordinator, Suzy works tirelessly to ensure the smooth running of the Department and the enjoyment for the young people. Be warned, Suzy is a “Neat Freak” so, make sure all the fireboots are in a perfect line – or else!!
