Hi Brothers and Sisters,
I am a Leading Firefighter in Devon Fire and Rescue {Based in TorquaY Devon}.I am currently serving in the Community Safety Department after spending the last 2 years on a watch operationaly in Torbay.
Iam married and have an 11 year old son.I live in Paignton a small town in Torbay about 4 miles from Torquay.
Torbay is a holiday area in the UK and is described as the "English Riviera". Devon is a beautifull county in the South West of England.
My family and I would be very interested in arranging a 12 month exchange with a firefighter and their family in Canada.
We are really relaxed about the location and would be interested to contact anyone who might like to spend 12 months in Devon.
DFRS are enrolled in the international Firefighters exchange Progrmme and to my knowledge have been very helpfull with previous exchanges.
Hope this idea might be interesting to someone and i look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes and fraternal greetings.

Hmmmm... you sure you wouldn't want to come over and be a Dialysis Technician for a bit? I'll trade ya in a second! hehe...

Sorry I can't help. I'm not a firefighter yet.

Best wishes with your plans.

If you are interested Toronto Fire does several exchanges every year.
We have sent firefighters to England, Australia and New Zealand in the past.
