 Hello, my name's Scott Lilly. Before this I was originally a plasterer for 10 years in Porphyry, just doing some modern construction and that sort of thing. I just got the wife at home and the new fella is three weeks old now so I look forward to getting home to him. Before this I didn't know too much about the CFA. I sort of did a bit of reading up on the internet and talked to a few career firefighters and got to know a bit more about it. So that's how I sort of found out about CFA and decided that I wanted to do it. The most rewarding thing about the recruit course, probably just meeting all the other recruits and that I've got friends for life through them guys and just all the new skills that we're learning and the adverse conditions and that we are dealing with when we get out there so that's been really good. The toughest part we'll probably be dealing with trauma. It's something you don't get subjected to every day so you don't know how to deal with it until you actually get there. I wanted to become a firefighter I guess after I'd read up and talked to a lot of the firefighters. You know on my hands I'm a kind of person who is plastering and that's how I thought and you get to deal with different things every day and it's a bit more exciting than plastering so that's probably the main reason, yeah.
