Gregg Corden, platoon chief of the Town of Newcastle Fire Department, in his office at the Bowmanville Police and Fire Building. The Newcastle Fire Department's Department's platoon chief says one of the things he likes about his new job is the fact that it covers all facets of firefighting. Contrary to what some members of the general public might believe, there's more to being a firefighter firefighter than responding to emergency calls when buildings or vehicles are ablaze. Firefighting also includes includes training, administration, administration, fire prevention, and public relations. And while large fire departments may have individuals who specialize specialize in each of these areas, Gregg Corden enjoys working working in the Newcastle department department because he can become involved in all of these parts of the overall operation. Under the direction of Chief Jim Aldridge, it's Gregg Corden, the platoon chief, who is in charge of most day-to-day activities at the town's four fire stations. "The people I work for are great and the people who work with me are great," he said. Gregg Corden became a full-time member of the Town of Newcastle Fire Department Department in December of last year when he accepted the position of platoon chief. But he is no stranger to the Newcastle Fire Department, Department, since he joined in • 1974 and served as a volunteer volunteer until his appointment to a full-time position. Formerly employed with surveyor and engineer, Merrill Brown, Gregg realized a lifelong ambition when he joined the City of Toronto Fire Department in May of 1980. He has completed a 12- week firefighters' course at the Ontario Fire College as well as receiving a certificate certificate from the introductory course given to all Toronto firefighters. He has also completed a number of fire training programs offered by the Ontario Fire Marshal's Marshal's Office. Today's firefighter needs to have knowledge of the chemicals transported on railways and highways since accidents involving these substances may occur. In addition, highrise buildings have few flammable flammable components. But smoke and fumes from plastics and other synthetic materials may prove dangerous. "It's the kind of job where you have to bè thinking all the time," he says. Although he has completed completed a number of courses teaching him how to deal with various kinds of fires, Gregg believes that the most important defence against fires is fire prevention. prevention. "Firefighting is fire prevention," he said, in an interview last week. The platoon chief explained that fires seldom start entirely by accident. There is often an element of human error which gives the fire a chance. Newspapers stacked neatly against a furnace, gas cylinders stored in a basement and, of course, careless smoking, are all potential fire hazards. The recent fire prevention prevention inspections being organized organized by the department this month are intended to help people think about fire prevention more clearly and correctly. "We're not out to catch anybody," the platoon chief explains. A smoke detector is perhaps one of the main ways of protecting oneself and one's property. "It may not save your house, but it will save your life," he said. The importance that the Newcastle Fire Department Department places on prevention can be read on a motto on the department's official letterhead. That motto reads "Fire Prevention Begins Begins With You." When he's not on duty, the platoon chief enjoys sports such as cycling, golfing, skiing, skiing, and boating. A lifelong resident of Bowmanville, Gregg and his wife, Anne, have one seven-month-old daughter. In addition to enjoying the variety of work which firefighting brings, Gregg also enjoys the fact that he is helping to serve the community.; community.; As for other requirements requirements that make a good firefighter, Gregg believes it's important to have good physical health to keep in good condition and to not be afraid of heights. But the most important important thing is the desire to do the job. "You only get out of it what you put into it." TOMORROW'S • FORESTS..
