Tom van der Weerd is a firefighter and radio DJ. In his book PRIO 1 he gives a unique and candid view into the world of the fire brigade.
Do firefighters really drop everything when the beeper goes off? Do they really go out for cats that have climbed trees? How long does it take for the fire brigade to reach the vehicle after a report? And why do they sometimes go out when there is no fire?
Tom van der Weerd has been active as a firefighter for many years, in addition to his work as a radio DJ. The profession of firefighter was taught to him by his father. He started in the youth fire brigade at the age of 15 and currently works as a commander at the barracks in Kampen.
From house fires to drowning people in the IJssel, and from suspicious gas reports to rescues with an aerial work platform: in this book Tom gives an honest and insightful picture of his dynamic job as a first responder, using intense, sad, fun and sometimes crazy stories.
