The second set of photos I am displaying are ones within the station. I think that it’s important to showcase the aspects outside of the trucks the fire the rescue etc and the more work based office work that goes along side being a fire fighter. My uncle through this trip allowed me to go inside his station and get a feel of what It could potentially be like in the day of a fire fighter and the routine that he takes.

There is not a large amount of imagery from this section but enough to get an understanding of what it’s like. Within the images taken, there are some of the uniform racks, which all have names above them where the fire suits sit. You have the night shift rooms, where all the workers sleep, they cannot wear eye masks or ear plugs for obvious reasons. The one thing that was interesting that I did not know before that fire fighters have to do at least 1 hour of gym a day and therefore this is displayed within the photographs as I thought it would be interesting to capture. There is also images of the lecture room located near the cafe.

These images will not display what it’s like to go out on rescue but showcase the daily life of being a fire fighter and the procedures and routine that comes along with it. I am unsure if I wold use this within the design as maybe its not as important in showing the worth of the service but undertaking research made it easier to understand the fire service.
