Amber Carridge recognised for outstanding contribution
A firefighter from the Isle of Man will be one of the official street liners for the procession at the King's Coronation next Saturday.
Amber Carridge will be one of only 20 uniformed Fire and Rescue Service personnel there, and was nominated in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the Island’s Fire and Rescue Service.
Amber will be on parade inside the barriers that will line the street for the King's Procession, which will travel from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.
Around 200 members of uniformed civilian services have been invited to take part in the celebrations.
Amber was the Island’s first female whole-time firefighter, joining the service in 2015.
She is the first whole-time female firefighter to take her promotional qualifications and be successfully promoted to the rank of Leading Firefighter.
Amber became the service's first and only female breathing apparatus and compartment fire behaviour training Instructor and now forms part of a small dedicated team, training the Island’s firefighters in this essential skill.
