House known and to be seen to be available and, to some extent, share the life of those with whom the ministry is set. This is done partly by the traditional pastoral technique of getting known, not least by visiting Fire Stations and gaining an insight into the Watch system and the continuing training of Firefighters. But there is more. The Fire Service recognises the value of chaplaincy in that the chaplain is kept informed of major incidents and if an Incident Commander at a callout, whether a fire or a road traffic collision, deeds it helpful, the chaplain attends and is available to the Firefighters both during the course of the incident and afterwards.

Frequently the Fire Service is the first on the scene of what can be distressing and serious situations, often involving death or serious injury; firefighters will often have to deal with traumatic situations, both for themselves as well as members of the public. My experience of these men and women is that they act with consummate professionalism on all such occasions – the role of the chaplain is to be available both at the time if necessary and afterwards. A great deal is achieved through the sharing of a cup of tea round the crew-room table in the Fire Station, often in the small hours of the night.
