Hertfordshire firefighter
‘I have worked here for over five years and have been out since day one. My experience here has been wholly positive. I have not been treated any less favourably, either by management or my colleagues on the watch. I am a junior officer within the fire service; my sexuality has made no difference to my career progression.’
