Kym Brocklehurst

This is Kym, one of the on-call firefighters at Ely Fire Station.

Kym always dreamed of being an on-call firefighter, like her dad was before she was born. Since joining she has picked up many skills, including medical first aid, CPR and being a community development instructor. She also mentors new people that join the station.

Having been a firefighter for five years, Kym has learned how to overcome challenging incidents as part of a team. Attributes like determination, physical and mental strength are key, as well being a team player and working under pressure. It is also very rewarding to be there to make a difference in people’s lives.
