Heart 2 Heart Walk Podcast

This episode was recorded at our first official 'First Responder Engagement Day' or FRED as we call them, at Oodnadatta SA while we are doing the Heart 2 Heart Walk 2023.  This episode is with newly appointed Captain Matt Corner from the Coober Pedy Country Fire Service who travelled out all the way to Oodnadatta to honour a promise he made when we caught up with them at Coober Pedy on the trip to start our walk.

Matt comes from a long standing family tradition of Rural Fire Service and his recent appointment to Captain now makes it 3 generations of fire service Captains in his family.

In this chat, we hear about the massive size of their response area, some jobs tallying near 1000km round trips just to attend.  Amazing to hear just how this job is done in the extremely remote part of Australia.

Captain Matt Corner - enjoy!
