On Friday 18th April, Creech Men visited Taunton Fire Station. The evening began with a Road Traffic Accident training exercise, when one of our group, David Cull, was asked to be an injured driver who needed to be cut out of a vehicle. Firefighter Barry Tucker talked us through what was happening as the glass was all shattered, the medics stabilised the patient, doors were removed before the roof finally cut off.

After this demonstration, we were shown round the station's main appliances by Crew Manager Ainsley Bird, and shown all that they carry, from a 100ft ladder, full chemical protective suits, all manner of tools right through to a simple teddy bear that is used to calm down anxious children!

Breakfast with Tough Talk

Saturday 10th November 2007

30 men gathered at CSMBC to enjoy a hearty breakfast of the 'fat bloke' type, after which Ian, who had driven from Essex on the morning, shared some of his life story. From growing up in a single parent home in the heart of the east end of London to working on the doors of clubs and pubs, Ian fought his way through life the hard way. He lifted weights for his country but also took steroids to enhance his abilities, even injecting himself with steroids meant for horses. Life on the doors meant carrying weapons at all times, regularly using them to stay alive yourself. With a contract on his life and with friends being killed all around him, Ian eventually found his peace with God through Jesus Christ, when after a friend of his had attended a church and been physically healed from some serious injuries, Ian took stock of his wretched life and asked God to come and help him sort it out.
