Dom Traynor, our Business Safety Advisor for Bury, Oldham and Rochdale first had contact with Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service when he was just 9 years old. Dom had won a competition for ‘Spot the Kitchen Fire Hazards’ with Ashton Fire Station and he won a DVD player!
10 years on, Dom became a volunteer for GMFRS where he assisted members of staff with a range of events and activities. He gained valuable knowledge of the uniformed services in the public sector and went on to apply for an apprenticeship.
Dom has studied A Levels in Business, Administration and Finance, Graphic Design, Law and Geography and was offered a place at the University of Leeds to study International Relations and Global Development. He declined this opportunity to seek employment within Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service.
This is the apprentices fourth month working on station. Dom’s highlights have been working with other members of GMFRS to see how different departments work. He has enjoyed working with operational fire fighters to get an insight to what they do on a day to day basis.
‘The past four months have opened my eyes to the organisation from the inside’
Dom would like to stay on with GMFRS in the future within Fire Protection. However he has future aspirations to become a Fire Fighter or a Police Officer within Greater Manchester.
