Description

In this episode of Behind the Badge, firefighter Paul Mildner reflects on his career spanning from East Sussex, UK, to Queensland, Australia. Paul opens up about surviving a heart attack, facing prostate cancer, and the mental toll of recovery—while still showing up for his family, his crew, and himself.

It’s a conversation about resilience, identity, and the importance of speaking up and getting checked.
