After 43 years of service, City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Service’s Chief Fire Officer, Ian Schnetler, retired on Wednesday afternoon.
After initially being deployed to Roeland Street Fire Station, Schnetler served at a number of fire stations before being promoted to Fire Officer. “The different emergencies and challenges inspired me to continue to develop ways of helping and enabling staff to overcome them,” he says.With the training that you receive and the experience you build up over time, firefighting is much simpler, easier, more exciting and fun to do than sitting behind a desk.”
Schnetler feels he has been privileged to manage “one of the proudest and best fire services in the country.”
