I work with fire alarm systems for a living, so it's fascinating to see a building get so bad it is shut down entirely by the fire brigade.

No BWOF since 2017 is just incredible though.

I originally started training to be an electrician, before being offered an apprenticeship as an alarm technician. It's a unit standard based qualification, so a lot of it crosses over.

That's so cool! Electricity is interesting anyway but even better, you get to know your work is saving lives.

It's a fun job actually.

That's awesome, having a fun job adds years to your life.

Not sure why it didnt occur to me that electrician training could lead to stuff like that.
