My Journey: From Beginnings to Today.

Hi, I’m Willie van Zyl, and my journey as a firefighter started back in 1984 at the Walvis Bay Municipality. Fast forward to ’87, and I proudly completed my Junior Fireman training. Then, ’93 marked the year I successfully wrapped up my Fireman training, closely followed by my Senior Fireman training in ’94.

In ’96, I took things up a notch by earning my Graduate Diploma in Fire Technology, which led to my appointment as Chief Protection Services.

But wait, there’s more! In ’90, I dove into Disaster Management and completed my Civil Protection Diploma. Then, ’95 saw me juggling SAMTRAC and Occupational Health and Safety courses like a pro.

For a solid three decades, I had the privilege of leading the charge in Fire, Civil Protection, Security, and Occupational Health and Safety.
